Will the Car Be Damaged If Water Gets into the Trunk?

[VanSamuel]

Water in the trunk can have a significant impact on the car, and failure to address it promptly may lead to malfunctions. Below is a detailed explanation: Dangers of water entering the trunk: It can easily cause rust in the trunk, and in severe cases, perforation may occur. The spare tire is placed in a lower position inside the trunk, making it prone to water accumulation if water enters. Moisture and water cannot be drained, which can easily cause the car's interior parts to become damp, moldy, or rusty. How to handle water in the trunk: Drain the water as soon as possible. There is a rubber plug at the bottom of the spare tire compartment in the trunk; removing it allows the water to drain. Quickly locate the entry point of the water, check if the trunk lid is deformed, or if the surrounding seals are damaged. Open the lid to ventilate, remove the trunk lining and items inside, and leave the lid open to dry for about an hour to prevent mold and rust.
