What to Do If the Trunk Gets Rained On?

[DiIsabella]

If there is water, drain it as soon as possible. There is a rubber drain plug at the bottom of the spare tire compartment in the trunk—remove it to drain the water. Quickly locate the leak source. Check if the trunk lid is deformed, ensure the surrounding seals are intact, or close the lid and observe where light shines through from inside the trunk, marking those spots. Remove all items and the trunk liner, then leave the trunk open to air-dry for at least an hour to prevent mold and rust. Seals naturally deteriorate over time when exposed to air. Before storage, thoroughly clean them with talcum powder to slow down aging during inactivity.
