Should I Get It Repaired If I Forgot to Close the Sunroof and It Got Wet in the Rain?

You can get it repaired if you forgot to close the sunroof and it got wet in the rain. Here are some details about car sunroofs: 1. Working Principle: The car sunroof is known as a natural air purifier, functioning based on the principle of negative pressure ventilation. When the car is moving, the airflow rapidly passing over the roof creates negative pressure inside the vehicle, which helps to draw out the air from the interior. 2. Function: It can assist in cooling down the car. Opening all the windows helps in dissipating heat from the interior. Similarly, by utilizing negative pressure to exchange the air inside the car, the sunroof allows outside air to enter, expelling odors caused by sun exposure and making the air conditioning more evenly distributed and gentle.
It was raining too heavily that day, and I forgot to close the sunroof, so a lot of water got into the car—really annoying. I think I must get it fixed because water soaking inside might corrode the seat frames or wiring, and a short circuit could be disastrous. I remember a friend had a similar situation and ignored it, and later the door locks stopped working, costing even more to repair. For now, I’ve wiped it dry with a damp cloth and turned on the fan to air it out, but it’s best to take it to a shop for a full check of the electrical system and carpets. They can test battery connections and such to prevent rust. The money is well spent—safety first, especially with an older car. It’s better to maintain it carefully and not delay until bigger problems arise, affecting the driving experience.
