Where are the drain holes located on the Jeep Compass?
1 Answers
The drain holes of a vehicle are generally distributed in areas such as the fuel tank cap, engine compartment, door panels, and sunroof. The most prone areas for clogging are the sunroof and engine compartment. Below are some considerations regarding the drain holes: 1. Fuel tank cap drain hole: Some vehicles have fuel tank openings positioned higher up, making the lower part prone to water accumulation. Hence, a drain hole is designed here. Clogging of this drain hole is often caused by accumulated dust. Excessive water accumulation can freeze the fuel tank cap in winter and breed bacteria in summer. 2. Sunroof drain holes: If the sunroof is not opened frequently, the four drain holes around the sunroof are less likely to clog. Most water ingress occurs due to water seeping through rubber gaps. Dampness in the interior trim panels is a sign of clogged sunroof drain holes. Detachment of the sunroof drain tube can also cause the interior trim panels to become damp. Damp interior trim not only produces unpleasant mildew odors but also fosters bacterial growth. 3. Door panel drain holes: Most door panel drain holes do not have hoses for drainage. Rainwater that leaks into the door will flow down to the lower drain hole for discharge. Due to the low position of these drain holes, vehicles frequently driven on muddy roads may find these holes easily blocked by mud. Owners should pay attention to regular inspections.
