Has the Geely Xingrui trunk water leakage issue been resolved?

[VonBrandon]

Currently, no. There are generally two situations that can cause water leakage in the trunk. The first is leakage from the trunk sealing strip, which can be tested by spraying water—someone must spray water outside the trunk to identify the issue. The second, less likely scenario, is damage to the negative pressure port caused by water splashed from the tires into the trunk, which is relatively rare and requires careful inspection. Here is additional information: 1. Self-check for the cause of water leakage: You can identify leaks using a simple method by simulating rainwater flowing from the roof with a watering can to locate the leakage point. 2. Check common causes of leakage: Inspect whether there are issues with the tail light seals, leaks around the rear windshield rubber strip, cracked sealing strips, blocked drainage holes near the seals, or aging and cracked metal panels, among other potential problems.

I drive a Geely Xingrui myself, and the trunk once got water inside. After that rain, I opened it and saw water stains, which was quite frustrating. I checked and found cracks in the trunk lid's sealing strip, and water had seeped through the gaps. Later, I went to the 4S store and got a new sealing strip replaced for free. Now, after driving for over a year, there haven’t been any issues. However, I’ve heard from fellow car owners that it still happens with older models, so I think the newer versions might have improved the design, but it’s not 100% guaranteed to solve the problem for all cars. My advice is to carefully observe the water marks after rain. If you know about cars, you could temporarily patch the leak with waterproof tape, but it’s best to regularly check and maintain it. Overall, my experience is that as long as you fix it promptly, it’s not a big issue—just don’t delay too long, or rust on the chassis could become a bigger problem.

As a mechanic who frequently works on Geely vehicles, trunk water leakage is not uncommon in the Geely Xingrui, mostly due to aging sealing strips or clogged drainage holes. Some owners report that Geely introduced upgrade kits after 2022, such as thickened rubber strips or optimized drainage paths, and the issue seems less frequent now. However, to thoroughly determine if the problem is resolved, I need to personally inspect the leak points, like conducting a water spray test or lifting the interior trim to check wire seals. If new parts haven't been replaced, cleaning the drainage holes yourself can provide temporary relief, but don’t ignore the risk of water accumulation corroding the frame. In short, contacting a 4S shop before taking action is more reliable, as they might have recall solutions. These minor issues can be resolved quickly, so there’s no need to worry too much about driving safety.

As a Geely enthusiast, I've noticed the issue of water leakage in the Xingrui's trunk, which has been widely discussed online. Geely officially responded by enhancing the sealing design, such as using new waterproof materials in the 2023 model, with tests showing a reduced leakage rate. However, this hasn't resolved the issue for all vehicles. My suggestion is to check the production date or consult local dealers for any service notifications. Additionally, developing good habits like regularly cleaning the sealing strips to prevent drying and cracking, and avoiding parking in low-lying areas to prevent water accumulation, is advisable. Personally, I think Geely has responded quite proactively, taking swift action after owner feedback, but details may vary, so it's important not to be careless.

Last time I washed my car, I found water in the corner of the trunk, which was caused by deformed sealing strips creating gaps for leakage. For a simple self-test: pour some water along the trunk lid seam to identify seepage spots for patching, or clean the sealing strips with a damp cloth to maintain elasticity. It's said that Geely has updated its parts inventory, with newer Xingrui models faring better but older models still occasionally experiencing this issue, so don't wait until problems arise to act. If frequent water ingress occurs, try adjusting your parking spot to avoid sun exposure and aging—it's not hard to handle, but the key is not to delay, prioritizing safety to prevent corrosion. It's advisable to keep some waterproof adhesive on hand for DIY fixes to save time and money, but for severe cases, consult a professional shop to check the drainage system.

I prioritize car maintenance, and water ingress in the trunk of the Xingrui can lead to moldy odors or electrical failures, which is quite hazardous. Some owners have shared that Geely issued a service bulletin addressing this issue, mentioning an optimized rear lid structure, but it hasn't completely resolved all cases. My approach is to feel the bottom of the trunk before opening it on rainy days to check for dampness. If water is found, I promptly clear any blockages, such as using a hairdryer to dry it out and prevent mold. In the long run, regular inspections of the seals at the service center are essential to avoid prolonged water accumulation damaging the car body. Geely's response has been relatively timely, and it's important not to let minor issues escalate into safety hazards.
