How to Deal with Lavida Sunroof Leakage?
2 Answers
Methods to handle Lavida sunroof leakage: 1. The rubber sealing strip around the sunroof edge may have aged or cracked, leading to poor sealing. Regular maintenance of the rubber sealing strip around the sunroof edge is essential. Purchase a rubber protectant spray and apply it to prevent rubber erosion; 2. Lack of lubricant on the sunroof tracks may cause squeaking noises when the sunroof is operated. Simply apply grease to the tracks to resolve this issue. The Lavida (LAVIDA) is the first A-segment car independently developed by Shanghai Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 4605mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1460mm in height.
The leaking sunroof on the Lavida is a troublesome issue. I've repaired quite a few similar cases before. The most common cause is clogged drainage holes, usually blocked by leaves or debris in the small openings at the four corners of the roof. You can carefully unclog them using a thin wire. If the leakage persists, it might be due to aged or cracked sealing strips – check if they're loose or worn and replace them if necessary. Additionally, a deformed sunroof frame or broken drainage pipes can also cause water to seep into the interior, potentially damaging carpets or even causing electrical faults. It's advisable to avoid parking under trees and regularly clean the sunroof tracks. Don't delay – find a reliable repair shop promptly to prevent long-term water accumulation and mold growth. If attempting DIY repairs, be cautious and avoid excessive force. Overall, prevention is better than repair; a simple check every six months is the most worry-free approach. Proper sunroof maintenance ensures comfortable and safe driving.
