What is the reason for water leakage in the co-pilot area of Zhonghua FRV during rain?

[DelSarah]

It is likely due to the improper installation or loose connection between the external circulation air intake grille at the lower edge of the front windshield and the air duct inside the vehicle (including the angle designed to prevent rainwater entry) before leaving the factory. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Grille air intake: Especially during heavy rain, the drainage channel at the lower edge of the front windshield accumulates a large amount of water, and the drainage holes cannot discharge it in time. When driving or making sharp turns, the accumulated water surges and enters the grille air intake. Due to the improper installation of the air duct connection, which fails to serve its water-blocking angle function or the connection is not tight, rainwater leaks into the vehicle. This should be the fault of a few assembly workers at the manufacturing plant. 2. Hard sealing strip: The sealing strip for the co-pilot's front windshield is too hard, resulting in poor sealing. This allows rainwater to seep between the co-pilot's front windshield and the sealing strip, reaching the two fixing screws of the air filter cover, and then entering the air filter, causing water leakage in the co-pilot area.
