Why Does the Car Carpet Get Wet When It Rains?
1 Answers
Reasons why the car carpet gets wet when it rains: The causes of water ingress inside the vehicle include loose door seals allowing rainwater to enter, clogged drainage holes on both sides of the U-shaped channel below the windshield leading to water accumulation, and the need to inspect aging rubber seals along with clogged sunroof drainage holes or pipes causing poor water flow. Related matters concerning car water leakage: 1. If there is water leakage in the trunk, it is usually due to the bottom rubber plugs not being fully engaged. 2. For loose weatherstrips, reattach them using specialized adhesive to restore sealing performance and prevent further leakage. Pay attention to aging weatherstrips in older vehicles. 3. If peeling occurs, reattach using a waterproof adhesive called sealant, being careful not to overstretch to avoid damage. 4. When part of the weatherstrip is lifted or twisted, rainwater often enters from there. Severe deformation requires replacement. 5. Leakage around the door is mostly caused by the surrounding weatherstrip. Check for any breaks or peeling. 6. If a small section is difficult to reattach, peel it off completely and reapply to fix any twisting or loosening of the weatherstrip.
