How to Deal with Water Accumulation in the Car?
2 Answers
Due to deformation of the window glass sealing strip, water may enter the car door. It is necessary to promptly check if the sealing strip is damaged. Poor sealing of the trunk sealing strip and rear taillight seals can also lead to water accumulation inside the car. The sealing strip should be replaced in time, and the sealing of the taillights should be checked. Check promptly whether the area under the floor mat is damp. If water accumulation is found, remove the sponge under the floor mat and dry it in the sun to prevent rainwater from soaking the car chassis.
I remember that time after the rain when I found the car carpets soaked. I thought it was a minor leak, but upon inspection, I discovered the sunroof drain holes were clogged. I immediately took action: used old towels to soak up the water, opened all the doors for ventilation. Don’t overlook the corners and under the seats—standing water can corrode the frame and promote mold growth. Later, I carefully checked the leak point and found the sealant had aged and cracked, so I bought a cheap seal strip and replaced it myself. After ventilating for a few days and using a fan to dry it out, I tested the electronics to ensure no moisture damage and felt relieved. My advice: clean the drainage channels every time you wash the car—prevention is far more important than repair, saving both hassle and headaches.
