What Are the Causes of Water Leakage in a Car Trunk?
1 Answers
Water leakage in the trunk can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Worn or Aged Sealing Strips: Worn or aged sealing strips, or trunk deformation, can lead to water leakage. It is necessary to check whether the tailgate rubber strip shows signs of aging, wear, or cracking. If the vehicle has been involved in an accident before and leaks after repair, check whether the sealing rubber strip applied post-repair is not tight enough or if there are cracks in the repaired area. 2. Detached or Damaged Sealing Strips: If the sealing strip around the rear taillight connector becomes detached or damaged, water can flow into the trunk from the taillight. 3. Leaking or Clogged Drain Pipes: Some cars have sunroof drain pipes running through the trunk. If these drain pipes leak or become clogged, it can also cause this issue.
