What is the function of the roof drain channel clip on the Mazda6?
2 Answers
The roof drain channel clip on the Mazda6 serves as a quick interface for installing roof racks. Below is some relevant information about the Mazda6: 1. Powertrain: The Mazda6 is equipped with two engines - a 2.0-liter and a 2.3-liter inline four-cylinder engine. The 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine utilizes Sequential Valve Timing (S-VT) and Variable Valve Timing (VVT) technologies, which significantly enhance engine performance, delivering more torque and greater power output. 2. Features: The vehicle comes with a card-type smart key, an 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat with 3 memory settings, xenon headlights, automatic headlight control, and headlight washers.
That gutter clip, its main function is to securely fasten the drainage channel along the roof edge. With all the wind and rain during daily driving, without these small clips, the channel would have warped long ago. It also prevents rainwater from seeping into the door gaps, ensuring the water running off the roof is directed properly along the drainage track. Don't underestimate these little parts—just the other day, I noticed a loud whistling noise from the roof while driving on the highway. Turned out it was a loose clip. I bought an OEM replacement and tightened it myself—took just ten minutes to fix.
