How to Deal with Water Accumulation in the Car Caused by Magotan Sunroof Leakage?
2 Answers
After being exposed to rain, the sunroof of a Magotan may lead to water ingress into the car, which can have a significant impact on the vehicle. The specific details are as follows: 1. In severe cases: The electronic modules inside the car may be soaked in water. If not handled promptly and properly, it can corrode the wiring, plugs, and internal circuit boards, leading to vehicle alarms and functional failures. In such situations, avoid turning on electronic devices if possible. Use the mechanical key to open the car door and call for a tow truck immediately to send the vehicle to a repair facility for treatment. 2. In less severe cases: If there isn't a large amount of water accumulation on the floor mats, it is recommended to remove the vehicle's battery to prevent electrochemical corrosion, which could worsen the rusting of modules and plugs. Then, take out the floor mats, seat covers, etc., from the car, remove them for cleaning and drying to prevent odors later on. After drying, it is advisable to perform a comprehensive disinfection of the car. Rainwater soaking can breed many germs, so disinfection is necessary. Regular car use precautions: Always ensure the windows are closed before leaving the car, and make it a habit to close them properly.
That day when driving the Magotan, the sunroof leaked during the rain, soaking the car's carpet with water. I quickly used old towels or sponges to soak up the water, then used a fan or hairdryer to blow dry it for several hours. Otherwise, the moisture could attract mold and affect health. Check the leak point: most likely the drainage holes are clogged. The Magotan's drainage holes are located at the corners of the front windshield—use a small wire or straw to poke and clean out the debris. Aging seals are also a common cause; if you feel cracks, go to a repair shop to replace them. Don’t rush to turn on the heater; first, make sure the water is dried to prevent electrical short circuits or fires. Regularly clean the sunroof tracks to reduce blockages. If there’s a lot of water, lift the seat cushions and expose them to the sun for a few days to prevent odors and costly repairs later.
