What Causes Water Accumulation in the Spare Tire Compartment of the Trunk?
1 Answers
Water accumulation in the spare tire compartment of the trunk may be caused by previous vehicle accidents, cracked or aged trunk seals, or replacement of taillights. The details are as follows: Previous Vehicle Accidents: If the rear of the vehicle has been involved in a rear-end collision, minor misalignments may occur during repairs, leading to poor sealing of the trunk. This can result in water leakage during rainy weather. Cracked or Aged Trunk Seals: Vehicle seals and gaskets are crucial components for waterproofing and dustproofing. If they become cracked or aged, they can easily cause water leakage inside the vehicle or allow water ingress during water crossings due to poor sealing. Replacement of Taillights: If the vehicle's taillights have been replaced, gaps may form. Additionally, substandard wiring during the installation of reverse sensors can allow rainwater to enter the trunk along the wiring.
