Common Winter-Related Sunroof Issues

Winter-Related Sunroof Issues

Here, we look at some of the most common winter-related sunroof issues and the preventative measures you can take. Key problems include:

• Freezing and Sealing Issues

• Malfunctioning Mechanisms

• Condensation and Leaks

Freezing and Sealing Issues

Condensation and rainwater collected in the sunroof drainage tubes can freeze in cold weather. The water will expand when it freezes, which can warp sunroof panels and even cause cracks. This will cause further air and water leaks.

Malfunctioning Mechanisms

Unfortunately, some lubricants contract or thicken in cold weather, preventing the mechanisms in sunroofs from working properly. Sticky mechanical components are common winter problems. Road salt can also harm sunroofs.

Condensation and Leaks

Temperature fluctuations between a heated car and the freezing outside air can cause a significant condensation build-up if sunroof seals are compromised. Opening a frozen sunroof can also crack the seal or frame, causing leaks that let in moisture. Leaks can lead to damaged electricals, mechanical components and mould.

Preventive Measures

Regular Maintenance and Checks

Regularly cleaning debris from your vehicle and lubricating the necessary components will keep your sunroof in top condition. Closely checking for gaps in seals and cracks means you can identify and resolve minor issues before they become larger problems.

Applying Sealants

Specialist sealants protect your sunroof against the winter weather. Our team is happy to advise on the available options and other suitable solutions for your situation.

Using a Car Cover

A waterproof, fitted, and breathable car cover provides excellent protection from colder weather. Drying the car before putting it on can further help by avoiding trapping moisture that could lead to condensation issues.
