What are the reasons for water ingress in the Bora's cabin?
1 Answers
Possible causes include aging of the car's sealing strips, improper sealing of the car doors, or deformation. It is best to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle. Below is additional information: First, check whether the car's windows and doors are properly closed. Also, determine the direction from which the water is entering the cabin, as this will help quickly identify the source of the leak. After ruling out human error, the issue is likely due to the car itself. Typically, there are four drainage outlets on a car—two at the front and two at the rear. The front drainage outlets are for the sunroof, while the rear ones are for draining water that flows on the car's surface. The rubber seals on the doors may age over time, as they are made of rubber materials that can crack or harden with prolonged use, leading to water ingress during rainy weather. If leaks occur, replacing the seals or applying sealant can help. Most cases of water ingress are caused by debris clogging the drainage outlets over time, especially in vehicles with sunroofs. Opening the sunroof makes it easier for debris to accumulate and cause leaks. It is recommended to inspect the car's drainage outlets during maintenance. The location of these outlets varies by model, so it is advisable to have them checked and repaired at a professional auto repair shop or a 4S dealership.
