How to Deal with Minor Water Leakage in the Car?

If the water leakage is not severe, simply open the windows on a sunny day to allow thorough airing; Turn on the air conditioning and adjust the vehicle's circulation switch to internal circulation, enabling the water vapor inside the cabin to be expelled through the air conditioning system.
I remember driving through a heavy rain last autumn, and some water got into the car. The first step is to quickly lift the carpet and dry the steel panel underneath to prevent rust. Using dry towels to repeatedly press and absorb the water is the most effective method—don’t let moisture accumulate. Then, open all the car doors to allow natural airflow and park in a sunny spot for half a day to air it out. Remember to flip the floor mats to dry both sides, and use a small towel to soak up any water droplets in the seat seams. Water accumulation in the trunk corners is easily overlooked, so inspect those areas carefully. When parking, always remember to close the windows tightly, especially under trees, and regularly clean the drainage holes. Placing a few packs of activated charcoal in the car can help prevent musty odors—keeping the interior dry is crucial.
