Car parts to pay attention to when it rains
(Baonghean.vn) -Rainwater is the main cause of damage to many parts of the car.Drivers need to pay attention to and check the following parts to ensure safe and efficient driving.
Check for holes and drains
After a long period of non-use, the holes and drainage grooves in the hood, trunk lid, and sunroof (if any) can become clogged with dust, mud, or anything else that gets in. Pay attention to cleaning these parts to keep the car's interior from being "attacked" by rainwater.
Clean glass
Glass is a very important part when driving on rainy days. Drivers need to pay attention to always clean the glass, not only the windshield, rearview mirror but also the rear window. If the car still uses air conditioning, you should switch the air direction button to the function of blowing on the glass. Otherwise, open the window to a reasonable level with the rain cover to reduce the fogging of the glass.
Windshield wiper
The wiper is an important part that ensures visibility for the driver when it rains; helping the driving process to be most convenient and safe.
This part of each car needs to be checked every 6 months to always operate in the best condition, avoiding damage that the car owner does not know about.
Every time it rains, the wipers have to work continuously, so you should pay attention to lubricating them regularly to keep them running smoothly so that the driver has the best visibility.
In case the wiper blade is too worn, the necessary thing to do now is to replace the wiper blade if you do not want to encounter problems, especially in the rainy season.

Check electrical system, air filter, brakes
High humidity means that the electrical system components are at risk of failure if not checked and maintained promptly. Dust and mud in the rainy season are the factors that clog the engine air filter. In addition, the brake system also needs to be cleaned, and if the vehicle is not used for more than 5 days, the moisture in the brake pads will rust and cause the brakes to lock.
Mudguard
During the rainy season, rainwater and mud splashing onto the car is inevitable. To limit this situation and prevent the car from getting dirty, car owners should regularly check the fenders on their car.
If the fender is in the best condition, it will protect the rear of the vehicle from dirt and help the driver to be safer.

Undercarriage protection
Most car chassis are made of metal materials that are highly susceptible to oxidation, easily corroded, and rusted when exposed to water and dirt for a long time. To protect the chassis, the popular method today is to spray paint to create an outer protective layer for this part.
