Should the Drainage Holes on the Trunk Be Opened?
1 Answers
When the vehicle encounters extreme situations such as wading or being submerged, it is necessary to open the drainage holes to drain the accumulated water in the trunk as quickly as possible. Typically, manufacturers seal these drainage holes, which can be unscrewed or poked open when needed. Below is related information about other drainage holes in a car: 1. Air Conditioning Drainage Hole: Its function is to discharge the condensation water generated during air conditioning use out of the vehicle. If the drainage outlet is blocked, water may enter the co-pilot area through the connection, soaking items like floor mats. 2. Engine Compartment Drainage Hole: The drainage holes in the engine compartment are usually located on both sides of the front windshield wipers, generally one on each side. Since the engine compartment is a relatively open environment, sewage, fallen leaves, etc., can flow into the engine compartment along the windshield. Engineers design a water barrier at the rear of the engine compartment and along the lower edge of the windshield, with drainage holes positioned on the barrier.
