What to Do When Water Leaks into the Car Due to Clogged Sunroof Drain Tubes?
1 Answers
Flushing method: Use a syringe to flush the drain tube to clear any blockages; Air pressure method: Use an air gun to blow air into the drain holes of the two front drain tubes in the sunroof. Sunroof maintenance methods: 1. Bumpy roads: It is best not to fully open the sunroof on bumpy roads, as excessive vibration between the sunroof and the slide rails may cause deformation of related components or even damage the motor. 2. Before opening the sunroof: Always open the sunshade first to prevent the sunroof motor from overloading and malfunctioning. 3. Rainy or snowy weather: In winter, the sunroof can easily freeze after rain or snow, and the sealing strip may become frozen and hard. If the sunroof is opened immediately under these conditions, the rubber sealing strip may crack. If the sunroof is frozen, the motor may be damaged due to overload. It is advisable to turn on the heater first and wait for the ice on the sunroof to melt before opening it. 4. During car washing: When using a high-pressure water gun to wash the car, avoid directing the water stream directly at the sealing ring. This can cause the sealing ring to deform under the high pressure, leading to water leakage into the car, and may also damage the sealing ring. 5. Dusty or sandy weather: In dusty or sandy conditions, it is recommended to clean the sunroof tracks at least once a month to prevent excessive accumulation of sand particles, which can increase friction and wear out components.
