Will a damaged car rain deflector cause water leakage?
2 Answers
Damage to the car rain deflector can cause water leakage. Methods to quickly dry out water inside the car are introduced as follows: 1. Open the car windows: If the water ingress is not severe, simply open the windows on a sunny day to allow sufficient airing. 2. Remove the floor mats: When water enters the cabin, the repair process mainly involves draining the accumulated water. There are several rubber seals at the bottom of the vehicle chassis; opening these seals can drain the water from the cabin. However, since the floor mats inside the car are highly absorbent, they should be removed and placed in a spacious area to facilitate evaporation. 3. Turn on the air conditioning: If there is still moisture inside the car, it is important to turn on the air conditioning and adjust the vehicle's circulation switch to internal circulation. This allows the moisture inside the cabin to be expelled through the air conditioning system. In summer, this is a very quick method of dehumidification. Additionally, you can purchase a simple dehumidifier box to place inside the car, or a roll of toilet paper can also help absorb moisture.
Previously, my car's rain tray aged and cracked, resulting in the engine compartment being flooded after a heavy rain, nearly causing a short circuit in the wiring. The mechanic said the accumulated water at the bottom corroded the sensors. The part was originally designed to channel rainwater, but once broken, it directly leaks into the engine or behind the firewall, which can damage electronic components or even cause mold inside the car over time. I've since made it a habit to clean leaves from the rain tray during every car wash to prevent blockages and potential damage. If you notice water accumulation marks under the windshield, have the tray repaired or replaced immediately to avoid serious issues.
