Will leaving the sunroof open and getting water inside affect the car?

[DiRonan]

If you forget to close the windows, causing water to enter the car, it can have a significant impact on the vehicle. Here is an introduction to the effects of water entering the car: 1. If it is severe, the electronic modules inside the car will be soaked in water. If not handled promptly and properly, it can corrode wires, plugs, and internal circuit boards, leading to vehicle alarms and functional failures. At this point, try not to turn on any electronic devices. You can use the mechanical key to open the door and immediately call for a tow truck to take the vehicle to a repair facility. 2. If it is not too severe and there is no large amount of water on the floor mats, it is recommended to remove the vehicle's battery to prevent electrochemical corrosion, which could worsen rusting of modules and plugs. Then, take out the floor mats, seat covers, etc., remove them for cleaning and drying to prevent odors later. After drying, it is advisable to perform a thorough disinfection of the car, as rainwater can breed many germs, so disinfection is necessary. We should always pay attention when using the car—make sure to close all windows before getting out and develop the habit of closing windows.
