The impacts of water leakage through a car sunroof on the vehicle are as follows: If severe: The electronic modules inside the car may be soaked in water. If not handled promptly and properly, it can corrode wires, connectors, and internal circuit boards, leading to vehicle alarms and functional failures. In such cases, avoid turning on electronic devices if possible. Use a mechanical key to open the car door and immediately call for a tow truck to send the vehicle to a repair facility. If not severe: If there is no significant water accumulation on the floor mats, it is recommended to remove the vehicle's battery to prevent electrochemical corrosion, which could worsen rusting of modules and connectors. Then, take out the floor mats, seat covers, etc., remove them for cleaning and drying to prevent odors later. After drying, it is advisable to perform a thorough disinfection of the car. Rainwater soaking can breed many germs, so disinfection is necessary.
