What to Do When the Car Sunroof Is Left Open and Gets Rained On?

[ColemanLynn]

First, close the sunroof immediately to prevent further damage. Once the weather clears, carefully inspect all areas of the vehicle that were exposed to rain. For parts that can be removed, disassemble and dry them thoroughly. For non-removable parts, ensure they are dried as quickly as possible to maintain the vehicle's normal operation in the future. Here are two key points for window maintenance: 1. Window Defogging: Slightly open the windows to allow air circulation between the inside and outside of the car, maintaining consistent temperatures to prevent condensation on the windshield. Turning on the air conditioning to adjust the cabin temperature can also help eliminate fog on the windshield. Additionally, applying a thin layer of glycerin, alcohol, or saline solution as an anti-fog agent can prevent short-term fogging on the inner surface of the windshield. 2. Electric Window Maintenance: Pay attention to the oil level in the door's internal lift mechanism to ensure smooth operation of the electric window switches. Dirty or damaged glass can also hinder movement, so it's important to keep the windows clean.
