Leakage from the trunk seal. Below are the relevant details: Drainage: There is a rubber plug for drainage at the bottom of the spare tire compartment in the trunk—removing it allows water to drain. For aging seal strips, visit an auto repair shop for replacement. Inspection: Locate the leak by checking if the trunk lid is deformed or if the surrounding seals have aged. Use a hose to spray water and observe where water enters, or close the trunk and check for light penetration, marking the spots. Sealing: Purchase a bottle of silicone sealant, open the trunk, remove the interior trim, and apply the sealant to the marked areas, preferably from the outside. The rear bumper should also be removed.

Does Adding a Rear Spoiler to a Car Require Registration?

Adding a rear spoiler to a car requires registration, as it is considered a modification to the vehicle's appearance. If the rear spoiler is installed without proper registration, the traffic management department of the public security bureau may impound the vehicle, confiscate the illegal modification, and order the vehicle to be restored to its original condition. After the modification is completed, the vehicle's registration certificate must be re-photographed and replaced to ensure that the photo on the certificate matches the modified vehicle, allowing it to pass annual inspections and routine safety checks. The primary function of a rear spoiler is to provide sufficient downforce, reducing lift at the rear of the vehicle, ensuring that the car remains firmly on the road and maintains stability during driving.
