What Causes Dampness Inside the Car on Rainy Days?
1 Answers
Generally, it is due to water leakage inside the car, which usually occurs at the openings of doors or the trunk. The main causes are often deteriorated, aged, or broken rubber waterproof seals, which can be replaced. Below are some methods to dehumidify a damp car interior: 1. Turn on the AC for dehumidification: When the air inside the car is humid, turn on the AC's cold air. The car's air conditioning system can regulate the cabin temperature, similar to cooling the car before driving in summer. This not only quickly circulates the air inside the car but also rapidly removes moisture. 2. Give the car a 'sunbath': Sunlight contains ultraviolet, infrared, and visible light. Just like humans, cars also benefit from sunbathing, especially during damp and rainy seasons. The heated car body will quickly expel accumulated moisture inside. 3. Frequently replace interior items: Items like car carpets and seat cushions, made of cotton or linen, are prone to dampness, mold, and bacterial growth. Therefore, it is best for car owners to air these items or replace them regularly.
