Should I Get It Repaired If I Forgot to Close the Sunroof and It Rained Inside?

It depends on the specific situation. If you forgot to close the sunroof and only a small amount of water got in, it indicates minor impact. However, as a precaution, avoid turning on any electronic devices in the car, such as lights or starting the engine, to prevent short circuits caused by water exposure. You can use the key to open the car door, and if it's still raining, cover the vehicle with an umbrella or waterproof cloth. Additional relevant information is as follows: Note 1: Cases of water accumulation inside the car are now rare, mainly because cars are equipped with drainage holes. Generally, if a large amount of rainwater enters the car, it won’t damage the vehicle or affect its mechanical systems, nor will it threaten the electrical circuits, as they are protected by insulated wiring. However, the car’s speakers may be affected depending on their location and exposure to rain. If you notice the speakers are damp, promptly take them to a professional repair shop. Note 2: Heavy rain or storms can be more dangerous, causing water to accumulate on the car floor, soaking the seats, and potentially affecting some wiring. In such cases, first remove the accumulated water, then open all doors to air-dry the interior. It’s best to take the car to a 4S shop or repair center to check the wiring to avoid long-term issues.
