What causes roof leakage in cars?
1 Answers
Roof leakage can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Sunroof leakage: There are generally two scenarios for sunroof leakage. One is blockage caused by small sand particles or dust in the sunroof drainage channel, and the other is displacement or "lifting" of the sunroof sealing strip. Therefore, it is advisable to regularly clean the sunroof to maintain the cleanliness around the drainage channel. Additionally, during car washes, use high-pressure air jet equipment directed at the drainage pipes to blow out any accumulated debris. 2. Failure of automotive waterproof adhesive leading to leakage: Leakage often occurs at the openings of doors or the trunk, primarily due to issues with the waterproof strips. These rubber seals may deteriorate, age, or crack, allowing rainwater to seep through. Reapplying adhesive specifically designed for waterproof strips can effectively prevent leaks.
