How to Repair a Leaking Car Sunroof?
1 Answers
Clean the sunroof drainage channel, clear the drainage pipes, and repair the sunroof sealing strip. Below is a detailed analysis of the specific causes of panoramic sunroof leaks: 1. Clogged sunroof drainage outlet: A blocked drainage outlet prevents rainwater from flowing smoothly, gradually seeping into the car. This phenomenon mainly occurs when the owner neglects regular cleaning of the roof, allowing debris to flow with rainwater into the drainage outlet and clog it. For such issues, you can use a wire to make a hook to reach into the drainage hole and pull out the debris, or visit a repair shop to use an air gun to blow out the debris from the drainage hole. 2. Damaged sunroof sealing strip: The sunroof sealing strip is made of rubber and can age over time. Repeated friction from the sunroof glass can cause damage, leading to poor sealing and leaks during rainy weather. In such cases, regularly check the aging condition of the sealing strip and replace it promptly if damaged. Choose a sealing strip with good performance and resistance to aging and corrosion. 3. Roof deformation: If the car is involved in a collision, the body may deform. If not properly restored during repairs, it can result in poor sealing and leaks. During the repair of accident-damaged vehicles, it is essential to strictly adhere to the original vehicle standards; otherwise, parts may not fit properly, creating potential leakage risks.
