Autumn danger: How to protect your car from leaf damage!

(RA) Autumn is not only time for colorful leaves, but also for hidden dangers for your beloved car! The ADAC Südbayern urgently warns: leaves can seriously damage your vehicle! Drivers should now be active to avoid costly surprises!

The falling leaves sit unnoticed in the joints of the vehicle, where they can nest and clog their rainflows. Thomas Schwarz, the deputy head of vehicle technology at ADAC South Bavaria, makes it clear: "The rainwater can no longer drain and ends up in the interior." This can lead to fitted slices, musty smell and expensive workshop visits if electronic damage and elaborate drying work are necessary!

How to protect your car from leaf damage!

The solution is obvious: Remove the leaves from your vehicle regularly! The ADAC South Bavaria recommends removing the leaves from both the body and from the grooves to avoid water damage and rust. This often goes quickly by hand, while a vacuum cleaner can help you with deep areas. But be careful! If there is already water in the interior, the path inevitably leads to the workshop to solve the problem professionally.

don't miss the chance to protect your car from the leaf traps of autumn and prevent costly repairs - act now!
