What Causes Water Leakage in the Porsche Cayenne's Front Passenger Seat?
2 Answers
The vehicle's sunroof drainage pipe is clogged, preventing the accumulated water from draining and causing it to flow into the interior. Below is relevant information about the sunroof: Functions of the sunroof: It can quickly cool down the car, eliminate fog, and allow for rapid air exchange. Opening the sunroof while driving can significantly increase the airflow inside the vehicle, thereby improving ventilation. Precautions for using the sunroof: Open the sunroof in traffic jams to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the car. During traffic jams, when all vehicles are stationary, exhaust emissions inevitably spread in the air. Open the sunroof after exposure to sunlight to balance the interior temperature. In hot summers, after prolonged exposure to the sun, the car's interior temperature can become extremely high. In such cases, the owner should promptly open the sunroof.
I've been driving a Porsche Cayenne for several years and encountered water leaking from the passenger side, dripping down the center console, leaving a musty smell in the car. Upon inspection, I found the air conditioning system's drain pipe was clogged with accumulated leaves and dust, causing water to backflow into the cabin. Another common cause is aging sunroof seals, allowing rainwater to seep through gaps. I recommend first trying to clean the air conditioning drain hole yourself with a thin wire; it's located under the passenger footwell. If the leak persists, it's best to visit a professional repair shop promptly to avoid issues like moldy carpets or short-circuited electronics, which could lead to bigger problems.
