Water Leaks Diagnosis
Note
Identify all water leaking parts before repair. Random
repair may only be a temporary solution and could lead
to more difficult repair in the future. Continue testing to
identify all water leaking parts.
To repair water leaks, proper testing and diagnosis is needed.
Adjust the position of the incorrectly positioned parts and use
proper materials to carry out the repair. Firstly, determine in
what circumstances there is water leaks. For example: only
when the vehicle remain in the slope there is water leaks.
Secondly, if the water leaks area has been found, use water
hose to locate exact position where water leaks. If water leaks
is not obvious, use a water leaks testing machine to identify
specific locations. Removal certain parts may be required to
identify the specific location of water leaks.
Water Leaks Test Preparation
–
The vehicle is designed for running under normal
conditions.
–
The sealing materials and components design has taken
into account the natural environment to achieve the seal
strength. However, there are other factors affecting seals.
–
Water leaks test is related to the natural environment and
can be used to determine the vehicle driving performance
under normal conditions.
–
The first step of the diagnosis process is to determine water
leaks occurred under what conditions. If you can determine
the approximate water leaks area, you can use a water
hose water to isolate the exact location. To repair water
leaks, you may need to remove certain parts of the
decorative panels or components.
–
If the water leaks appears in the door, trunk door or window,
it is not necessary that the water leaks is created by sealing
strip. Adjust these parts might correct the water leaks.
Testing With A Water Hose
Note
Do not use water hose with a nozzle.
1. Let an assistant inside the vehicle to confirm the exact
location of water leaks.
2. Start testing from the bottom of the window or the
windshield.
3. Move the hose slowly upward, until cover the entire roof.
Ventilation Hose Test
Note
Ventilation hose test can only be used for completely
cured the adhesive. Otherwise, the usage of this method
will damage the adhesive layer, leaving increased water
leaks spots.
1. Pour liquid cleaning agent into a spray bottle according to
a certain percentage, then spray it to window edge. Spray
from the bottom, gradually upward and through the entire
roof.
Note
The pressure of compressed air can not exceed 205
kPa (29.75 psi).
2. Let an assistant bring the air hose into the vehicle.
3. Let the assistant use the compressed air targeting
suspected leaking area. If there is leakage, air bubbles will
appear.
1.11.1.2 Repair
Body Leaking Repair
Depending on the location of water leaks, certain parts may
need to be removed.
1. From the inside or outside the vehicle, slit open the seam
adhesive.
2. Clean and remove all the old adhesive residue from the
leaking area.
3. Apply body and joint sealant on the cleaned area.
4. Wait for several hours so that the sealant is fully cured.
5. Inspect whether there are water leaks.
6. Reinstall parts.
Fixed Window Water Leaks Repair
Depending on the location of water leaks, certain parts may
need to be removed.
1. Determine the specific location of water leaks.
2. If the windshield edge leaks, use a dedicated seam
adhesive to repair or replace the windshield.
