What to do if water leaks from the Volkswagen Touran sunroof and accumulates inside the car?

If you find that the sunroof of your vehicle is leaking, the first thing to do is to check the drainage holes of the sunroof to see if they are clogged. If the sunroof leakage is due to blocked drainage holes, timely unclogging of the drainage holes can resolve the issue. If the sealing strip of the sunroof is damaged, it can easily lead to water accumulation on the roof leaking inside, thus causing the sunroof to leak. To prevent leakage, it is necessary to promptly replace the sunroof sealing strip.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Touran for several years and have encountered the issue of a leaking sunroof, which left the car floor all wet. The first thing I did was to use dry towels to soak up the water to prevent damage to electronic components or mold growth. I checked the sunroof drainage tubes—on the Touran, they're usually located at the four corners of the sunroof. I used a thin wire or toothpick to clear the tube openings, as they can easily get clogged with leaves and dirt. If it still leaks after unclogging, it might be due to aging seals or a loose sunroof frame. In that case, I went straight to the dealership, where they replaced the seals for less than 200 yuan. I've made it a habit to ventilate the car after rain and clean the sunroof tracks every six months to prevent clogs, which can affect the air conditioning and cause odors inside the car. A small sunroof leak can turn into a major repair if ignored, so act quickly and don't delay.
