Car Maintenance After Rain

1. Dehumidification In The Car

In fact, the work of dehumidification should be done when it rains. When it rains, turn on the cold wind. This will not only remove the fog but also dehumidify. We should pay attention to the accumulated moisture must be removed as soon as possible, otherwise, conditions such as mildew will easily occur.

In addition to the welding of the door and the part of the car body, it is easy to rust and corrode after the rain. The hinges, locks and other iron parts inside the door are also easy to get damp because they are covered by the door trim. Therefore, we should find a shade when it is sunny open all the doors and trunk lids to let the moisture in the car drain and ventilate, then remove the footpads and seat covers, rinse and dry.

2. Check The Sunroof

The sunroof is a place where rainwater and dirt are accumulated.

During maintenance after rain, first clean up the sand or leaves adhering to the sunroof sealing strip, and check whether the sealing strip is deformed or notched to prevent excessive rainwater from leaking into the sunroof and causing water leakage in the car.

The second is to lubricate the sunroof guide rail. If the sunroof is not closed in time or the sunroof leaks during rainy days, allowing rainwater to flow into the guide rail, it will dilute the lubricating oil on the guide rail. If you do not pay attention for a long time, it will cause insufficient lubrication of the sunroof guide rail and affect the tightness of the sunroof closed. Therefore, every time you maintain after the rain, check the lubrication of the sunroof guide rail and add lubricant in time.

3. Maintain The Chassis

The chassis is a part close to the ground, which is particularly severely affected by road conditions. Generally, this part is prone to rust and spots, and the wheel cavity may even be loose and perforated. Therefore, we must pay attention to the cleaning and anti-rust treatment of the car chassis.

In heavy rain, the car can be cleaned after driving home. One is to wash away some acidic substances, and the other is that sludge will remain on the inside of the tire and the chassis after driving in rainy weather, and moisture will be hidden in it. Cause these places to rust.

4. Maintain The Brake System

Because the brake fluid is easily fused with water, it is easy to enter the brake fluid due to the large accumulation of wet water vapor on the brake tank in the rainy season. If water enters the brake fluid, friction will occur during braking. The resulting high temperature will vaporize the water. The gas is compressible, and when compressed in the brake fluid, it will cause brake failure or even failure. Therefore, pay attention to the oil check of the brake system and the bleed treatment of the brake system after the rain.

5. Check The Circuit

The ignition system of a car will leak electricity due to humidity, and once it leaks, it will make the engine difficult to start. Therefore, in order for the car to operate normally, the circuit must be checked in time after the rain. The key is to check the high-voltage line.

If there is water wading, the circuit equipment should be treated in time afterwards. You can use non-fiber paper towels and textiles to dry the circuits one by one before starting. In addition, it is important to check the brake system. Because the braking system has a very strong adsorption force, rainwater is very easy to enter the brake fluid, which will affect the braking effect, and may cause brake failure in serious cases.
