What are the reasons for water leakage in the Roewe RX5 trunk?
2 Answers
Roewe RX5 trunk water leakage may be caused by the following reasons: Vehicle seal strip issues: The waterproof function of various parts of the car body is generally achieved by using seal strips. The seal strips are made of rubber material, which has certain strength and hardness and will not deform under certain pressure conditions. However, when exposed to air for a long time, the seal strips are prone to aging or wear, eventually leading to water leakage in the trunk. Trunk deformation: The design of the car trunk follows certain rules, and usually, the body parts are designed with corresponding drainage arcs. If the shape of the trunk is damaged, it is easy to cause serious water leakage in the trunk when encountering rain.
I've been driving the Roewe RX5 for several years and have also encountered the issue of water leakage in the trunk. That time, after driving in the rain, I found the carpet completely soaked. Upon inspection, the main cause was aging sealing strips. Over time, the rubber seals tend to deform or crack, allowing rainwater to seep in. Additionally, I discovered that the drainage holes at the bottom of the trunk were clogged with leaves, causing water to back up instead of draining. Another common issue is loose sealing rings around the rear light assemblies—my car developed this problem after being over three years old. During regular car washes, I also recommend thoroughly cleaning around the trunk area. For example, after rinsing with a hose, check for any potential leakage points. Overall, this problem isn't just annoying; it can easily lead to rust or unpleasant odors. It's best to regularly inspect the seals and drainage holes during routine maintenance and address any water leakage immediately.
