What Causes Water Leakage at the Car Vanity Mirror Position?
2 Answers
It may be caused by a sunroof seal or blockage. Below is a related introduction about water leakage under the car: Solutions: When opening or closing the door, or hearing obvious water sloshing sounds while driving, it indicates water accumulation inside the door. In this case, simply use a thin wire or small screwdriver to unclog the drainage hole, which can be easily done by yourself. Details about the leakage: If the window regulator has been replaced, it might be due to improper adhesion of the door waterproof membrane after the replacement, as the membrane needs to be peeled off during the regulator replacement process. If the waterproof membrane is not properly sealed and encounters heavy rain, water will enter the car. You can perform the sealing work yourself or replace the waterproof membrane.
I've also encountered the issue of water leakage around the vanity mirror. After a heavy rain last time, I noticed water dripping from above the interior vanity mirror, which was particularly annoying. After thorough inspection, I found it was mainly due to sunroof problems – either the aging and cracking of sealing strips or clogged sunroof drainage pipes, allowing rainwater to seep through the gaps and flow onto the headliner. It could also be caused by improper positioning or blockages in the air conditioning system's drainage pipe, leading to condensation water flowing back into the interior. In some cases, poor sealing of doors or windows allows water to seep in and travel along the headliner to the vanity mirror area. Prolonged leakage may even cause electrical shorts or mold growth, so it's crucial to address it promptly. During regular maintenance, pay extra attention to cleaning the sunroof tracks and don't overlook minor issues.
