How to Deal with Water Leakage in the Sunroof?
2 Answers
First, check if the drainage outlet is clogged with dust, as most sunroof leaks are caused by blocked drainage outlets. During spring and autumn, clean the sealing ring with a damp sponge once every quarter. Before long-term parking, thoroughly clean the sunroof with talcum powder. While driving the car, regular manual maintenance is necessary. Car owners can perform maintenance on the car sunroof themselves.
Don't panic if your sunroof leaks. I was really startled when this happened to me on the highway last time. First, park your car in a safe place and turn off the engine to prevent more rainwater from entering the car, which could cause electrical shorts or damage to the interior. Quickly check if the sunroof is tightly closed, open the windows for ventilation, and use a dry towel to soak up the water around the edges. A clogged drainage hole is a common cause—try using a small stick or wire to poke through the drain pipe opening, or flush it with water to see if it clears. If that doesn’t work, the seal may be worn out or the sunroof frame may be deformed, requiring professional attention. I recommend driving to a repair shop as soon as possible to avoid rust or mold. Regularly clean the sunroof tracks during car washes to reduce the risk of clogging. Safety always comes first—don’t take it lightly.
