What Causes Water Accumulation Under the Tiguan's Floor Mats?
2 Answers
Tiguan's floor mats accumulating water may be due to blocked drainage channels or aging vehicle seals. The solution is to unclog the drainage pipes or replace the worn-out seals. Tiguan Introduction: The Volkswagen Tiguan is a vehicle produced by Shanghai Volkswagen and was announced on March 26, 2010. This compact SUV made its first appearance to consumers at the 2009 Guangzhou Auto Show. Safety Features: The Tiguan's trunk can be freely adjusted between 400L and 1530L, greatly enhancing its practicality, which is a key feature for an SUV model. The Volkswagen Tiguan comes standard with ESP (Electronic Stability Program), EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution), and ASR (Traction Control System). Less common features such as EDS (Electronic Differential Lock), EPB (Electronic Parking Brake), Auto Hold function, and TPR (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) are also standard on the Tiguan, demonstrating Volkswagen's strong emphasis on safety. Front dual airbags and side airbags ensure passenger safety, while the standard child safety locks highlight the importance placed on children's safety.
Last time my Tiguan got flooded, it was a costly lesson! Focus on checking the drainage pipe outlets at the four corners of the sunroof, located below the A-pillars and C-pillars. Once after rain, I found water accumulation in the front passenger footwell - after removing the trim panel, I discovered mice had chewed through the drainage pipe. The one-way valve at the end of the drainage pipe also easily gets clogged with leaves, just poke it with thin wire. If water accumulates after turning on the AC, there's an 80% chance the evaporator drain pipe is blocked, located slightly to the right of the center under the chassis. If door seals are deformed, water leaks during car washing will flow along the door panel to the floor mats - test this by pouring bottled water on the window. The most troublesome issue is cracked sealant on the floor panels, which requires removing seats and lifting carpets to reseal.
