What Causes Water Leakage in the Focus Trunk?
2 Answers
It may be due to the aging of the sealing tape. Here is more information about the Focus: 1. Focus RS: The Focus RS is a new generation of high-performance sedan developed based on the revamped European version of the Focus. The all-new Ford Focus RS will exclusively feature Michelin tires. Among them, the Michelin Pilot Super Sport (specification 235/35/19) is its standard tire, while the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 (specification 235/35/19), known for its outstanding track performance, is available as an optional tire. 2. Focus RS Engine: The large intercooler air intake of the Focus RS runs from the top of the bumper down to the front lip and is decorated with black metal mesh. The fog lights are directly embedded at the front of the front fenders without any embellishment. Two additional heat dissipation vents are added on the engine hood, and the vents at the rear of the front fenders indicate that the vehicle will have a powerful braking system.
I remember that after a heavy rain, the floor of my Focus trunk was soaked, which really startled me. The reason is quite common: the sealing strip on the trunk door had aged, and rainwater seeped in through the door gap. Another possibility is that the drainage holes under the rear window were clogged with dirt and leaves, causing water to backflow into the trunk. Some models like the Focus have drainage tubes designed between the glass and the trunk, which are prone to dust accumulation. If the car has been hit before, poorly sealed welding seams can also cause leaks. I suggest you first check if the sealing ring has any cracks and use a soft cleaning rod to clear the drainage holes. If water accumulates for a long time, even the spare tire can rust. Regularly cleaning debris around the trunk can prevent issues beforehand. Water stains may seem minor, but they can attract mold or cause short circuits, affecting driving safety.
