“Car Maintenance Tip: Don’t Overlook this Secret Compartment on Your Door to Avoid Water Damage”

When we drive our car, we very often go into ‘automatic’, exploiting the potential of our vehicle as much as we need to or as far as we are told. But often the car hides surprises.

And as for potentialprecisely, they come to the surface, sometimes, some particularity which we really hadn’t really realized: really bringing out utility and ingenuity spectacular.

How well do we know our car? When we have often wondered about this or that function, about this or that deviceand perhaps we have not been able to give a concrete answer?

Of course, not all of us are experts mechanics, obvious: but we are not talking only about mechanics, nor about the appearance more merely electric o technological, from this point of view. And of what?

Sometimes we discover the existence of apposite devices, or space or, as in this case under discussion, of a disappeared one that seems secret, but that it has always been there.

Support compartment – that’s where it’s at

And there was because it plays a specific function, and important, to which we may not have given too much weight, or not to enough, at least. What is it about? Actually, there are many.

What we want to talk about here, however, is a specific one compartment which, in particular, is located on the door, and allows you to avoid the important problems, if well used.

Cockpit holes: where are they located

However, we would be forced to run for cover because, penetrating, the water could cause damage to the cockpit, to the interior, and maybe even some electrical components and mechanical.

Instead, in the part inferior from the Portier there is one compartment, where there is also a small cap which, if opened, allows the water to flow out, so that it cannot accumulate nor even end up penetrate inside the car.

Basically, as you can see in some videos that go around the web and have become fashionable, this stopper allows the external passage of water: they are the famous drain holes. And they are very useful.

In fact, the water could come out and pass over the gaskets of the window, especially if it’s raining or if you’re at the car wash for example. These caps often go though drained manually.

It is also true that many cars have holes draining on the windscreen, to avoid an accumulation or that it has to intervene directly the driver. Did you know?
