Does the Passenger Side Need Repair If It Gets Water Inside?
1 Answers
No repair is needed if water gets into the passenger side. Here is relevant information about water ingress on the passenger side: 1. Prompt Cleanup: If there is water under the carpets, driver side, passenger side, or rear seats, it is essential to address the water under the floor mats or carpets immediately. Failure to do so may result in mold growth inside the vehicle and damage to wiring harnesses or control units. 2. Depending on the severity of the water ingress, remove all seats from the cabin: Take out the floor mats, carpets, and other components. Address the moisture inside. Dry the carpets and floor mats thoroughly. Replace any damaged control units. Electrical wiring affected by water must be cleaned to remove moisture and dampness. While dealing with interior water, always check how the water entered the vehicle. 3. Common causes of leakage include: 1) The sunroof itself has leaks due to poor sealing. 2) The sunroof drain holes are clogged or detached, preventing water from draining outside the vehicle. 3) The vehicle drove through a flooded area with deep water, leading to water ingress. 4) The body sealing is not tight enough.
