Why Is There Mud When the Sunroof Isn't Open?

Mud may appear even when the sunroof is closed due to tracking mud into the car when entering. Car Sunroof: Installed on the roof of a vehicle, a car sunroof effectively promotes air circulation inside the car, allowing fresh air to enter. It also enhances visibility and meets the needs of mobile photography and videography. Car sunroofs can be broadly categorized into: sliding-out, built-in, built-in flip-up, panoramic, and curtain types. Benefits of a Car Sunroof: It changes the traditional way of air exchange by extracting stale air from the cabin, ensuring the interior always has fresh air. It quickly removes fog inside the car, ensuring driving safety. Rapid cooling saves energy, making the sunroof an energy-efficient feature.
I also find it quite strange. Even though the sunroof is clearly closed, there is mud near the sunroof inside the car. This is usually caused by rainwater or dirt seeping in through the gaps around the sunroof on the roof. All car sunroofs have sealing strips, but they may age, deform, or be improperly installed, leaving small gaps. When it rains, water mixed with road dirt washes over the roof, and muddy water seeps in and accumulates. Additionally, if the drainage pipes are clogged, the water can't drain away and pools in the channels, drying to form mud stains. I recommend regularly cleaning the sunroof tracks and checking the elasticity of the sealing strips, replacing them promptly if any issues are found. When washing the car, use a high-pressure water gun to rinse the sunroof area thoroughly, which can help reduce such problems. Poor sunroof maintenance not only causes mess but can also lead to leaks and rust, affecting the car's lifespan.
