Why does the left side of the cab leak on rainy days?
2 Answers
The left side of the cab leaks on rainy days because the sunroof sealing strip has failed, causing water to seep through the sunroof gap. The sealing strip needs to be replaced. Alternatively, it could be due to leaks from the window gap or door gap. You should take it to a car wash and use a high-pressure water gun to carefully inspect the area to identify the cause, and then proceed with the necessary repairs based on the findings. Introduction to the cab: The cab (cab) is an important component of the body of trucks and special-purpose vehicles, serving as the workspace for professional drivers day and night. Its structure directly affects the driver's safety, work efficiency, and health. Composition of the cab: The cab is generally constructed with a thin-shell metal structure and is flexibly connected to the frame, not bearing any load, which makes it a non-load-bearing body. Modern cabs also emphasize reducing air resistance, focusing on aesthetic design, and using panoramic curved glass.
There are several common reasons for water leakage on the left side of the driver's compartment during rainy days. The door seal may be aged or worn, allowing water to seep in through the door gap; or the sunroof drain pipe may be clogged, causing rainwater to backflow into the cabin; loose sealant on the windshield can also let water leak in. I've seen many cases while repairing cars where leakage points easily soak the carpet, leading to electrical shorts or metal rust. It's recommended to first observe the leakage location during rainy days, then try cleaning the drainage holes on the door panel or sunroof with a fine needle. If you can't handle it yourself, you must go to a professional repair shop for inspection to avoid more severe electrical damage. Don't forget to flush the drainage system during regular vehicle maintenance, as this can prevent rainwater accumulation. Preventive measures are simple but can save you from major troubles.
