What is the reason for water leakage in the front passenger seat of the Peugeot 2008 when it rains?
2 Answers
Water leakage in the front passenger seat during rain is generally caused by clogged drainage holes. The initial blockage of the sunroof drainage hole usually occurs at the entrance, which can be seen by opening the sunroof. At this stage, it is relatively easy to clean and can be done by oneself. Below are some relevant details about the Peugeot 2008: 1. Body dimensions: The Peugeot 2008 is a compact urban SUV with a length of 4180mm, width of 1745mm, height of 1580mm, and a wheelbase of 2540mm. 2. Powertrain: The Peugeot 2008 is equipped with two engine options: a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.2T turbocharged engine.
With years of experience in auto repair, the issue of water leakage in the Peugeot 2008's front passenger area is a common topic. The most frequent cause is aging and cracking of the door seal rubber strips, allowing rainwater to seep through the door gaps—especially in older vehicles. Clogged drainage holes are another common culprit; if the small holes at the bottom of the door are blocked by mud or leaves, water can't escape and flows back into the cabin. For models equipped with a sunroof, a blocked or leaking sunroof drain tube can channel water down to the door frame area, flooding the passenger side. When addressing the issue, don't rush—first, feel where the carpet is wet to pinpoint the leak. If the moisture is near the door, it's likely a seal strip problem; if it's inside the door, the drainage hole may be clogged. A high-pressure water spray test on the exterior can help identify leaks for prompt repair. Neglecting this can lead to mold, rust, and electrical damage from standing water. DIY solutions include unclogging drainage holes or cleaning seal strips, but for part replacements, it's best to visit a professional shop to ensure a permanent fix.
