water ingress

Waterproofing is the process of making an object, person or structure waterproof or water-resistant so that it remains relatively unaffected by water or resisting the ingress of water under specified conditions. Such items may be used in wet environments or underwater to specified depths.
Water-resistant and waterproof often refer to resistance to penetration of water in its liquid state and possibly under pressure, whereas damp proof refers to resistance to humidity or dampness. Permeation of water vapour through a material or structure is reported as a moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR).
The hulls of boats and ships were once waterproofed by applying tar or pitch. Modern items may be waterproofed by applying water-repellent coatings or by sealing seams with gaskets or o-rings.
Waterproofing is used in reference to building structures (such as basements, decks, or wet areas), watercraft, canvas, clothing (raincoats or waders), electronic devices and paper packaging (such as cartons for liquids).

    Just realised the charge covers fit into each other 😂

    I usually leave my charge cable and charge point covers dangling when charging and often find the next morning they are full of water if it rains. After 5 years of ownership I've just realised the car and charge cable covers fit inside each other. No more water in the covers in the morning 🤣😂

    Blocked drain in charging port

    My car was on charge last night and it was raining. I haven't seen this before, but when I came to remove the type 2 plug I noticed that there was standing water in the bottom of the charging port. While it can't become dangerously high, or get into the DC charging contacts if the car is on a...

Luckily we have a private gated parking spot, but it is not covered and overnight some slight rain caused the door pockets, rear bench on one side and the floor carpet are soaking wet. Has anyone been in a...

    Water in Boot Floor

    ZS Trophy Connect nearly 2 years old. Had a clear out of the boot a few weeks back - lots of water resting under the plastic/rubber liner on the boot floor and spilling out on top of the liner. Being serviced tomorrow so asked to dealer to look at it - no chance - that requires an MG diagnostic...
