How to deal with rainwater entering through the unclosed passenger window?
1 Answers
If only a small amount of rainwater has entered, remove the wet floor mats, carpets, and seat covers, clean them with automotive-specific cleaning agents, and let them dry. If the water ingress is more severe, remove the floor mats and floor coverings, open the sealing plugs at the bottom of the car chassis, and drain the accumulated water. Below are additional details: 1. Minor water ingress: The impact of rainwater entering through an unclosed passenger window depends on the situation. If only a small amount of rainwater has entered, it generally won't affect the vehicle's wiring or mechanical systems, as the wiring is protected by sheaths and typically won't cause issues. In this case, simply clean and dry the wet items. 2. Severe water ingress: However, if the water ingress is severe, the situation is different. Although the wiring is protected by sheaths, it doesn't guarantee complete safety. Moreover, the passenger side is close to the dashboard, and rainwater dripping into the car may splash onto electronic devices. Even if the electronic devices aren't damaged, the passenger seat, floor mats, and other interior components may still get soaked.
