How to Repair Water Leakage Due to Aging Sunroof Rubber Seal?
1 Answers
To address water leakage caused by aging sunroof rubber seals, the sunroof seal should be repaired by applying liquid Teflon tape to the cracked areas and allowing it to weather naturally. Then, test with water to ensure complete sealing. Below are some related methods for handling sunroof leaks: 1. Clean the sunroof drainage channel: The drainage channel is located inside the sunroof seal and serves to drain water. Wipe this area with a cloth and remove any visible debris along the sunroof edges. Upon closer inspection, you will find a small drainage hole in the channel. Leakage may occur if the drainage hole is clogged with debris, causing excessive accumulation and water leakage. 2. Clean the drainage pipe: Find a thin, flexible metal wire, such as a bicycle brake cable. Gently slide it down to unclog the pipe, similar to cleaning a household drain. Be sure to operate slowly and carefully to avoid puncturing the drainage pipe. Rotate the wire to bring out any impurities. Close the sunroof, pour water onto it, and check for leaks.
