What is the reason for water leakage in the Tayron's A-pillar?

Tayron A-pillar leakage is caused by poor sealing of the window rubber strip or the fixing holes of the roof rack. Solution for water leakage: Find a stiff plastic strip and insert it into the drain hole, moving it up and down a few times to basically unclog the drain pipe. If water still doesn't drain after this step, it means the drain pipe is also blocked. In this case, you can go to a repair shop and ask the mechanic to use a tire repair air gun to blow into the drain hole, which often helps to unclog it. Post-unclogging inspection method: Pour a bottle of mineral water into the sunroof and check if water flows out from the drain outlet under the car. If water flows out, it means the drain pipe needs to be unclogged.

I've seen quite a few cases of water leakage in the A-pillar of the Tayron during my long career in auto repair. One common cause is the aging or damage of sealing strips. Over time, these strips become brittle, allowing rainwater to seep in, especially for vehicles frequently exposed to intense sunlight in southern regions. Another possible reason could be clogged sunroof drainage pipes. Some higher-end Tayron models with sunroofs have drainage pipes designed near the A-pillar, and blockages can lead to water backing up. Additionally, issues with body seam welding—whether due to poor factory workmanship or careless post-accident repairs—can also cause leaks. I recommend regularly checking the inner side of the A-pillar for any water stains when parking. If you suspect a leak, promptly visit a 4S shop or professional repair center for inspection to prevent potential rusting of the body or electrical issues. For frequently driven vehicles, it's especially important to maintain the sealing strips and clean drainage holes before the rainy season to prevent problems proactively.

As a Tayron owner, I also experienced water dripping from the A-pillar during last year's rainy season, which was really annoying. At the time, rainwater seeped along the door frame and reached the floor mats, leaving the interior damp. It was probably due to the aging and loosening of the original sealing strips—the rubber material isn’t very durable—or maybe the technician didn’t seal the seams properly during the last modification. If you often park outdoors exposed to heavy rain or use high-pressure car washes frequently, it can accelerate the deterioration of the seals. Later, I took it to the shop, and the mechanic said replacing the seals would fix the issue—it wouldn’t cost much, but delaying repairs could lead to mold and interior damage. I recommend checking around the A-pillar for water stains after rain. If you don’t have the tools, don’t attempt DIY fixes—just take it to a professional for inspection and repairs. Safety first. During regular maintenance, applying some lubricant or protective agent to the seals can help extend their lifespan.

A-pillar leakage is not just a minor issue. I take it very seriously when driving long distances, as rainwater could corrode the A-pillar or short-circuit the wiring, which is especially dangerous on highways. The cause often lies in failed body sealing, such as cracked rubber seals or clogged sunroof drainage pipes. The Tayron's design features tight seams, but aging is inevitable with use. I recommend stopping to check for leaks at the first sign of rain and visiting a professional repair shop if necessary, to avoid compromising driving visibility and safety. A simple tool can be used for inspection to prevent water accumulation from accelerating potential hazards.
