What to Do When a Car Sunroof Leak Causes Water Accumulation in the Carpet?
1 Answers
First, remove the rubber plug from the sunroof drainage pipe to reduce the risk of blockage in the drainage system. If a sunroof leak leads to water accumulation in the carpet, first assess the severity of the waterlogging. Since there is usually a thick layer of soundproofing material beneath the carpet, once water accumulates, it becomes very difficult to dry. Roll down all windows, open the sunroof and all doors to ensure maximum air circulation inside the car, and leave it exposed to the sun for several days. Use a blower, maintaining a certain distance, and alternately apply cold and hot air to the waterlogged area. However, this is a very time-consuming process. Seek professional assistance. Technicians will remove and dry the entire carpet and may also bake the interior to check if the water accumulation has affected the car's electrical circuits.
