How to Deal with Water Accumulation in the Car Caused by Skoda Octavia Sunroof Leakage?

You should pull the sealing strip outward to check if it will come off. If it is loose, apply sealant at the joint between the car body and the sealing strip and reinstall it. If the trunk sealing strip is aged, please replace the trunk sealing strip.

Buddy, a leaking sunroof is no small issue. I dealt with a Skoda Octavia leak before and ended up with water all over the interior. Don’t rush to turn on the AC for dehumidification—it could short-circuit the wiring. Quickly use towels and a wet vacuum to soak up the water, especially under the seats and floor mats. Lingering moisture can lead to mold and a nasty smell inside. Next, check the sunroof drainage holes, usually small openings at the corners or edges of the roof. Use a thin wire or an air blower to clear any blockages from dust or leaves. If the sealing strip is aged, press it to check for cracks, and apply rubber protectant if needed. After drying the water, it’s best to drive to a repair shop for a full inspection—drain tubes might be cracked. The Octavia’s design tends to trap debris here, so park away from trees and wipe the sunroof edges weekly to avoid future hassles.
