What are the symptoms of water leakage from a car's rear windshield?

The reason for windshield washer fluid leakage is a malfunction of the washer fluid reservoir or a rupture in the connected water hose, which requires timely inspection and replacement. Otherwise, it will affect the safety of the vehicle. Below is a detailed introduction about vehicle safety: Safety aspects: Vehicle safety is mainly divided into active safety and passive safety. Active safety involves controlling the vehicle as freely as possible. Whether it's braking and accelerating in a straight line or turning left and right, the operations should be as smooth as possible to avoid deviating from the intended path and not affecting the driver's visibility and comfort. Scope: The scope of vehicle safety technology is becoming increasingly broad and detailed, developing towards integration, intelligence, systematization, and universalization. Strictly controlling speed during night driving is the fundamental measure to ensure safety.
I've encountered rear windshield leaks several times, and it's particularly annoying. The most obvious symptom is during rainy days when water seeps in from the edges of the glass, leaving wet stains or droplets on the headliner that drip onto the rear seats. The trunk often accumulates water, with the carpet feeling damp to the touch, sometimes even pooling up to 1 cm deep. Over time, a musty smell develops inside the car, and the interior side of the glass constantly fogs up, making it quite troublesome to clean. In severe cases, the vehicle's electrical system may also be affected, such as the audio system malfunctioning. I recommend checking the interior and trunk after rain for these signs to prevent body corrosion or rust.
