How to Deal with Rainwater Entering Through Unclosed Car Windows?
1 Answers
Here are the methods to handle rainwater entering the car: 1. If a small amount of water enters, it indicates minimal impact. Avoid turning on any electronic devices inside the car to prevent short circuits caused by water exposure. Use the key to open the car door, and if it's still raining, cover the vehicle with an umbrella or waterproof cloth. Then, proceed directly to a 4S shop for drying treatment. 2. If rainwater has seeped into the carpets or floor mats, remove them for cleaning and air-drying. Additionally, perform a thorough disinfection inside the car to prevent lingering odors. Important notes: 1. Wet seats may develop mold; avoid using a hot air blower to dry them. If the seats have a heating function, you can use it to speed up water evaporation. After air-drying, apply a leather cleaner and polish. For sponge seats, you can dismantle them entirely to air-dry the inner sponge. 2. Do not fully immerse the carpets in water for scrubbing, as this can damage the adhesive layers between different materials inside the carpets and prolong the drying time, affecting their usability and causing dampness inside the car.
