How to Deal with Water Getting Inside the Car?

[AndresDella]

If water gets inside the car, first, avoid turning on any electronic devices to prevent short circuits. Use a soft, dry towel to wipe down the wet areas. Remove and clean detachable interior parts such as floor mats and seat covers, then let them dry in the sun. If possible, use a fan to dry out the interior. It's also advisable to disinfect and deodorize the car interior. Bamboo charcoal or activated carbon can be used to purify the air inside the car. More related information is as follows: 1. Areas most affected by water: Generally, rainwater or water entering the car won't damage the vehicle or affect its mechanical systems, nor will it threaten the electrical system, as car circuits are protected by sheathed wires. 2. Areas less affected by water: The car's audio system may be affected depending on its location and whether it gets wet. After rain, it's crucial to quickly remove accumulated moisture inside the car to prevent mold growth. Dry the car's electrical components promptly after rain, and use a fan to dry the interior if possible to avoid short circuits in the wiring. Regularly check the drainage of the windshield's water channel to prevent water accumulation that could lead to engine flooding during rain.
