How Does Water Get Inside the Car on Rainy Days?
1 Answers
Possible reasons for water inside the car on rainy days include: leaks or poor sealing of the sunroof; clogged or detached sunroof drainage holes preventing water from draining outside the vehicle; driving through deep water that enters the car; or poor sealing of the vehicle body. Below is an extended explanation: 1. Insurance Claims: If the vehicle is submerged in water while parked, the damage can be claimed under comprehensive insurance. If the engine is damaged by water while driving, it requires specific water damage insurance. 2. Inspection: If water is found under the carpets, on the driver’s side, under the passenger or rear seats, it’s crucial to promptly remove water from under the floor mats or carpets. Failure to do so can lead to mold, damage to wiring harnesses, or control units. Depending on the severity of water ingress, remove all seats from the cabin. Take out floor mats, carpets, and other components. Dry out any moisture. Thoroughly air-dry carpets and floor mats. Replace any damaged control units. Electrical wiring that has been exposed to water must be cleaned to remove moisture and dampness. While addressing interior water, always check how water entered the vehicle.
