Solution for Rusty Sunroof on Tiggo 3
2 Answers
Solution for rusty sunroof on Tiggo 3 is to remove the rust at a vehicle repair shop. Reasons for sunroof rust: The most common rust issue with sunroofs is rust on the sunroof rails. Due to prolonged vehicle use, the rails, being made of iron, may rust even though they were coated with anti-rust paint during manufacturing. Over time, the paint may peel off, leading to rust on the sunroof rails. If the rust on the rails is not severe, lubricating oil can be applied. If the rust is severe, the sunroof rails need to be replaced. Automotive Sunroof: Automotive sunroofs are installed on the roof and effectively promote air circulation inside the vehicle, allowing fresh air to enter. Additionally, sunroofs can provide a broader view and meet the needs of mobile photography and videography. Sunroofs can be broadly categorized into: sliding-out type, built-in type, built-in flip-up type, panoramic type, and curtain type, mainly installed on commercial SUVs, sedans, and other vehicle models.
When my Tiggo 3's sunroof rusted, I first cleaned off the rust by washing the surface with water and a soft cloth, then applied anti-rust paint, as the rust was mostly caused by aging seals or rainwater seepage. This has made me develop a habit: checking the sunroof drainage holes for blockages every month, lubricating the tracks with silicone oil to prevent rust, and remembering to open the window to air it out after washing the car to reduce moisture. I also found that prolonged exposure to rain and snow on the roof accelerates corrosion, so I bought a car cover for rain protection—worth the hundred bucks or so. If the rust spots are severe, it's best to go to the 4S store for sanding or replacement; don't skimp on this to avoid leaks damaging the interior. Remember, regular maintenance, including the sunroof, can prevent this issue. They always say rust may seem minor but affects safety—early treatment saves hassle.
