Reasons for Trunk Leakage?
1 Answers
Car trunk leakage is caused by improper sealing of the weatherstrip or damage and deformation of the trunk. Here is a detailed introduction to car trunk leakage: 1. The waterproofing in various parts of a car is ensured by weatherstrips, which are made of rubber material. This rubber material inherently possesses certain strength and hardness, generally preventing deformation during use. However, the weatherstrips on a car are consumable items. Prolonged exposure to external air leads to aging, and frequent use can also cause wear and tear to some extent. Once the weatherstrip is damaged, the car will leak. 2. The design of the car trunk follows certain rules. If the shape of the trunk is compromised, rainwater intrusion can lead to severe leakage. There is a rubber drain plug in the area where the spare tire is placed in the trunk. Removing it allows the water in the trunk to drain out. For aged weatherstrips, car owners can purchase and replace them themselves or have them replaced at an auto repair shop. 3. Hazards of trunk water ingress: Water in the trunk can easily cause rust, and in severe cases, perforation may occur. The spare tire compartment in the trunk is relatively low, making it prone to water accumulation. If not drained promptly, it can easily lead to mold growth in the car's interior.
