How to deal with Q5 sunroof leakage?
2 Answers
q5 sunroof has leakage phenomenon treatment methods are as follows: 1. Check whether there is dust, leaves or small branches and other dirt on the rubber strip and groove of the sunroof: When using a high-pressure water gun to wash the car, do not spray water directly at the sealing ring around the sunroof, otherwise it is easy to cause the sealing ring to deform under the spray pressure of the high-pressure water column, and the car will be prone to water ingress over time. 2. Check whether the drain is blocked by dust: Most sunroof leaks are caused by clogged drains. There are no special requirements for the daily maintenance of the car sunroof. Just regularly check whether the sealing strips around the sunroof are damaged and check the lubrication condition of the track. It is recommended to go to the 4S repair shop to let the maintenance master pour water on the sunroof to test, find the leakage point and then repair it.
Last time my car's sunroof leaked, as someone who often does minor repairs myself, I found the most common issue is clogged drainage tubes. There are four drainage holes at the corners of the sunroof - over time, leaves and dust can block them, causing water to leak directly into the car. My solution is to use thin wire or compressed air to clear the pipes, then pour some clean water to test the flow. If the rubber sealing ring is aged or cracked, just buy a new one to replace it - there are online tutorials and it's not difficult to DIY. Also, frame deformation or improper assembly can cause leaks. I always clean the sunroof tracks and edges when washing my car, as keeping them dry helps prevent issues. If there's serious leakage after heavy rain, I recommend getting it checked at a professional shop first to avoid more expensive interior damage.
