Volkswagen Tiguan's body drainage outlets are located on the front and rear wheel arches. Below is relevant information: 1. Drainage Holes: These drainage holes on the car are very inconspicuous, and many people may not even be aware of their existence. However, once these drainage holes become clogged, your beloved car may suffer from 'flooding.' In fact, maintaining these drainage holes is not difficult; simply cleaning debris and dust regularly during car washes is sufficient. 2. Poor Drainage: When the vehicle experiences poor drainage, it is necessary to determine which drainage hole or pipeline is causing the issue based on the location of the accumulated water. For example, if there are water stains near the interior ceiling or sunroof, it can be concluded that the problem likely stems from the sunroof. Once the drainage hole is identified, debris around the drainage outlet should be cleaned. For drainage outlets in areas such as doors, the engine compartment, or the fuel tank cap, hard objects like iron wires can be used to directly unclog them.

The drainage holes of the Volkswagen Tiguan are mainly located in several key areas. The sunroof drainage holes are distributed at the four corners of the roof, with tubes running through the A-pillars or C-pillars and extending to the front wheel fenders to drain rainwater. The door panel drainage holes are located at the bottom edges of the doors, featuring rubber plugs or small holes that can be seen when the door is opened. Additionally, there are drainage holes at the rear of the trunk, near the license plate area. I've noticed these locations are prone to clogging with dirt and leaves, especially after parking in the city. If not cleaned, water may seep into the car, causing moldy carpets or rust. Every time I wash my car, I take a moment to check and clear them using thin wire or specialized tools—it's very simple. Regular maintenance can extend the car's lifespan and avoid costly repairs.

What glue is used to bond automotive sealing strips?

3M double-sided tape. Below are relevant details: Reason: Door seals are exposed to wind and sun for long periods, leading to aging, cracking, breaking, loosening, or even detachment. If you notice the door seal coming off, it should be addressed promptly by using adhesive to reattach it. Note that since door seals are made of rubber, you can use 401 or 801 glue, or 3M double-sided tape for bonding. Apply the adhesive evenly to the detached area, align the automotive seal properly with your hands, and press firmly for a moment to secure it. Precautions: Most cases of door seal detachment are due to aging, so regular maintenance is essential. Be mindful of the force when opening and closing doors to avoid excessive pressure that could damage the seal. After driving in the rain or washing the car, wipe off any moisture in the door gaps to prevent corrosion from acidic rainwater or detergent residue. If the seal shows signs of aging or cracking, it should be replaced promptly.

What Causes Oxidation Spots on the Car Windshield?

Cars often stay outdoors, enduring wind, sun, and rain, making them prone to getting dirty. On rainy days, if the car is not in use and the rainwater on it is not cleaned promptly, water stains or rust spots can easily appear on the glass after the water evaporates. Below are some relevant solutions: Vinegar: Car glass rust spots can be removed with vinegar, which reacts with rust. Spray vinegar on the rust spots, let it sit for a short time to soften, then wipe with a towel and rinse thoroughly. This effectively removes rust spots. Clay bar: Clay bars have a polishing effect and can remove glass rust spots. To use, first rinse the glass surface clean, then rub the clay bar over the rust spots, and finally rinse thoroughly. Polishing: For stubborn rust spots and grime, polishing is the last resort. Using a polisher with polishing liquid or powder can remove rust spots, restore the glass's cleanliness, clarity, and transparency, and also eliminate tiny surface pores, effectively preventing oil film formation.
