Will the sunroof get clogged if not opened?
2 Answers
If the sunroof is not opened, the possibility of clogging is very small. Procedure for replacing window glass: Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Locate and remove the hidden bolts, remove the latch, and take off the door trim panel; adjust the window, remove the glass fixing bolts, take out the glass, and finally install it. Installation precautions: Before installation, lay protective pads to protect vulnerable areas and seats. Use protective tape on the adjacent frame parts of the bonding area before activating the coating adhesion. Use professional cleaners to treat unconventional contamination in the bonding area to ensure no air or water leakage. Apply an activator to the bonding area and activate the original black primer to make the glass bonding more secure.
I've been driving for over twenty years, and one of my cars had a sunroof that I almost never opened. I thought it wasn't a big deal until one time after heavy rain, I found the car's carpet completely soaked. Upon inspection, I discovered the drainage holes were completely blocked by a pile of leaves and small insects. The mechanic told me that while the sunroof's sealing strip normally keeps rain out, if the drainage holes aren't used for a long time, dust and debris gradually accumulate and clog the pipes. When rainwater seeps in and can't drain away, it backs up into the car. Since then, I've learned to check the drainage holes every few months and clean out any debris. Actually, whether the sunroof is opened or not doesn't directly affect the clogging, but neglecting maintenance allows dirt to pile up more and more, potentially damaging electronic components when dealing with it later.
