Has the Aion Y water leakage issue been resolved?
2 Answers
The water leakage issue with the Aion Y has been resolved. The causes of car water leakage are as follows: Aging of Seals: With prolonged use of the car, the waterproof seals at the door and trunk openings may age or even crack, allowing rainwater to seep into the car through these gaps, leading to water leakage. Blocked Drainage Outlets: Window leakage is relatively common, where heavy rain outside leads to minor leaks inside. The main cause of window leakage is the blockage of the sunroof drainage channel's outlets by dust and debris, causing excessive accumulation and leakage. It's advisable to inspect and clean these areas yourself.
Last time I got my car repaired, I overheard some Aion Y owners talking about water leakage issues. Some had water entering through the aging trunk seal, leaving visible water marks on rainy days; others had clogged sunroof drainage tubes, with leaves piled up in the drainage channel. The latest batch of vehicles seems to have improved the drainage tube design, but owners of older models should regularly clean the drainage holes on both sides of the sunroof themselves—just use a thin wire to clear them. Additionally, when washing the car, pay extra attention to rinsing the roof drainage channels, as sand and debris clogging there can also cause water seepage. If you notice any leakage, address it promptly to prevent mold growth in the carpet, which can be a hassle. It's recommended to visit a 4S shop to have them use an air gun to clear the pipes and check if the sealing strips have deformed.
