Areas vulnerable to water entry
The area that must remain fundamentally dry, or which water must
not reach, is the vehicle interior, where the most potential water
entries are concentrated.
Furthermore, there are components outside of the vehicle interior
that require a watertight and moisture free environment in order
to carry out their function, such as headlights, lamps, fuse boxes,
relays, electronic control units, etc.
In this section exemplary cases are presented that can serve as
references for locating water entries.
