Will water enter through a small gap in the car window when it rains?

Water can enter through a small gap in the car window when it rains. Even if there is no gap, a small amount of rainwater may seep into the door, but there are drainage holes at the bottom of the door. If there is a gap, it may be due to aging or deformation of the sealing strip, which should be replaced promptly to reduce water seepage and prevent rust. Below is relevant information about rainwater entering car windows: Reasons for gaps in car windows: 1. The sealing strip has aged over time and no longer provides sealing or cushioning. This can lead to loud noises when closing the door, unusual sounds when driving on uneven roads, and dust entering through the door gaps on gravel roads. The solution is to replace the door sealing strip. 2. If the car was previously involved in an accident and the repair shop did not fix it properly, the door frame may still be deformed. The solution is to have the repair shop realign it. Effects of water entering the car window: Minor water ingress has little impact, but as a precaution, it is best not to turn on electronic devices inside the car, such as lights or starting the engine, to prevent short circuits caused by water exposure. You can use the key to open the door. If it is still raining, cover the car with an umbrella or waterproof cloth. If the electronic devices are unaffected, simply drying the interior is usually sufficient. If rainwater has soaked into the carpet or floor mats, remove and clean them, then let them dry. After handling the water issue, it is also advisable to disinfect the interior to prevent lingering odors.
