Where Does Water Enter a Car From?

[McEmmanuel]

Water enters a car through the sunroof, doors, or chassis. The car chassis is usually equipped with drainage holes, and after wading through water, the water drains out through these holes. If the drainage holes are blocked by debris or the drainage hole gaskets are aged or detached, water can easily seep into the car after passing through water. Therefore, after driving through water, it is best to promptly lift the floor mats to check. If there is accumulated water, it should be dried immediately, and the car chassis should be dehumidified. Below are precautions for wading through water: 1. Potential for water ingress into the car: Regarding the wading depth of a car, the general standard is half the height of the wheel. Although this is just a reference standard, if the water depth exceeds half the wheel height and causes water to enter the car, repairs can be very troublesome. 2. Maximum wading depth: The height of the air intake is the most important indicator of a vehicle's wading capability. Once water enters the air intake, it can cause the engine to stall, and in severe cases, water can be sucked into the engine, causing permanent damage. Therefore, if the water level reaches this point, you must not continue driving.
