The solution for a small amount of water entering the car window on a rainy day is: 1. Try not to turn on electronic devices in the car, such as lights or starting the vehicle, to prevent short circuits caused by water; 2. Use the key to open the car door, and if it is still raining, cover the vehicle with an umbrella or waterproof cloth; 3. Take out wet carpets and other items from the car to dry outside; 4. Use a dry towel to wipe the damp areas; 5. Open all car doors for ventilation; 6. Sprinkle water-absorbing beads inside the car; 7. Continue absorbing moisture with dry towels, newspapers, rice, or other absorbent materials. The functions of a sunroof: 1. Change the traditional ventilation method; 2. Prevent exhaust fumes from entering the car; 3. Reduce wind noise; 4. Quickly lower the temperature inside the car; 5. Quickly remove fog inside the car; 6. Provide a wider view.
As a seasoned driver with years of experience, I often encounter situations where the car windows are left open during rain, letting water in. Don’t panic. First, grab a clean towel or cloth to quickly soak up the water on the seats and door panels, preventing it from seeping under the mats. Then, open all windows or the sunroof, start the car, and turn the AC fan to maximum for at least half an hour to accelerate air circulation and evaporate any remaining moisture. If the weather is nice, parking in the sun can also help. Afterward, check the electronic components inside the car, such as switches or the audio system, to ensure there’s no short circuit. Remind yourself to develop the habit of closing the windows before leaving the car, or consider installing an automatic window-closing device to prevent such incidents. A little water isn’t a big deal, but prolonged exposure can lead to mold or damage to the wiring.
I once forgot to close the window and got rained on, with only a small amount of water entering. Don't worry. Immediately grab a thick towel to dry the surface, paying special attention to the door pockets and around the control panel. Then start the car, turn on the heater and air conditioning, set it to the highest temperature with maximum airflow for 15 minutes to let the moisture escape. Remember to open the windows for ventilation—the smell isn't pleasant and can damage leather seats. Check if there's any water under the floor mats; just vacuum it up. Usually, parking under a shelter, using window film, or setting a phone reminder can prevent forgetting again. If handled promptly, there's generally no issue, but avoid water damaging electrical components.
