What Causes Water Leakage in the Front Passenger Seat of Wuling Hongguang?
2 Answers
Wuling Hongguang front passenger seat water leakage reasons are as follows: 1. Sunroof leakage: Regularly clean the sunroof to keep the drainage channel clean. Also, don't forget to use high-pressure air equipment to blow out dirt in the drainage pipes when washing the car. 2. Car waterproof seal failure: Leakage usually occurs at the doors or trunk opening, mostly due to deteriorated, aged, or broken rubber waterproof seals. Reattaching them with special adhesive can prevent leaks. If water seeps in around doors, check for broken or detached seals. Misaligned door seals are a common cause of water entry.
My family has been driving the Wuling Hongguang for two or three years, and I've experienced the issue of water leakage on the passenger side. The most common cause is a clogged sunroof drain pipe, where accumulated dust and leaves cause rainwater to backflow, flowing directly from the A-pillar onto the passenger footwell. Another reason is aging or cracked door seals, which allow water to seep into the car during heavy rain, making it very noticeable. If the air conditioning drain pipe is blocked, condensation water can also leak into the passenger area, soaking the floor and causing mold. Improperly installed windshield seals may also lead to leaks. I usually check and clean the drain pipes before the rainy season or replace the seals with new ones to fix the issue. Don’t underestimate this problem—prolonged leakage can corrode the car’s wiring and affect driving safety. It’s best to inspect regularly and visit a professional repair shop if issues are found.
