Hello! Sorry if this will be a noob question, cause I am a noob myself

Nitong past days na malalamig ang panahon at madalas ang pag-uulan, kapag binuksan ko yung door nung hatchback ko, napapansin ko na may basa dun sa loob ng car sa may ilalim ng door. Then nagkakaroon din ng misting sa loob ng mga windows. Basa yung windshield at windows from the inside. After ko punasan, then babalik na naman ulit.

Normal lang ba yun? And may mga ways ba para i-prevent itong scenario na ito?

Check for leaks inside the car during heavy downpour. If none, it's most likely just condensation....like a cold glass of beverage, humidity on the warmer side will condense upon hitting the colder glass surface.
The hatch jamb frame is guttered, expect water to drip thru the top & the sides but very unlikely to have leaks thru it.... unless some seal or weatherstripping is faulty or compromised. The factory also passes each & every thru leak tests....it may not be foolproof though, but leaks can't be common.
I presume car isn't garaged, suketchi sir?

Naka-park siya outside our house pero may bubong naman. Weird lang kasi after ko na siya punasan from the inside, bumabalik na naman yung pagkabasa ng windows sa loob.

Seems most likely to be condensation. If you have other cars, you can check if its happening to them too.

Out of curiosity, anyone getting their units released before Christmas?

Expecting the release of my unit tomorrow!

Sir what variant did you reserve and what dealership? Did your SA inform you that your unit will arrive at the dealership tomorrow?

I got my reservation in greenhills and iam also expecting my unit by tomorrow or on the 23rd. My SA informed me that my unit is already lined up for pick up at the plant.

Im hoping my unit will be released before Christmas. Where did you reserve your unit sir and status of reservation? I was informed that my unit is in line for pick up at the plant as of 11 am today.

Got the 1.5 hatch from Pasig. My unit's supposed to arrive tonight so I'll pick it up tomorrow.
My timing's pretty good as I reserved the unit last Wednesday.

Hello! Sorry if this will be a noob question, cause I am a noob myself

Nitong past days na malalamig ang panahon at madalas ang pag-uulan, kapag binuksan ko yung door nung hatchback ko, napapansin ko na may basa dun sa loob ng car sa may ilalim ng door. Then nagkakaroon din ng misting sa loob ng mga windows. Basa yung windshield at windows from the inside. After ko punasan, then babalik na naman ulit.

Normal lang ba yun? And may mga ways ba para i-prevent itong scenario na ito?

Unless water really gets inside when the hatch is closed, that shouldn't be a concern. The video seems to show gravity run-off from windshield back to wing trim upon opening, not interior leaking.
If it's just condensation, there's nothing much we can do about it....unless it's caused by something else like this......

Mataas lang siguro talaga humidity last week with the weeklong rains. My cars sometimes suffer from that during weeklong rains even though our garage is fully covered. Hindi naman kasi fully sealed ang mga kotse, otherwise nag-suffocate na tayo, so moisture can still get in. Minsan galing din sa hininga or pawis ng occupants yung condensation. Kaya sometimes I crack open a window just before I get in the garage or park or turn on the air circulation mode in the blower to suck in outside air.

Hindi naman po ganyan kasi lahat ng windows yung napansin ko na nagkaganun, hindi lang sa likod. Wala naman leakage ng tubig sa interior mismo ng kotse, besides dun sa ilalim ng door, pero di naman siya pumasok sa loob.

Unfortunately, we don't have other cars to compare kung may same scenario din kagaya sa hatch ko. Hehehe

Yep, wala naman sir leakage sa loob kaya okay lang. Punas punas na lang talaga. Medyo malakas kasi ang ulan at malamig din sa amin sa Batangas last week dahil sa bagyo. Most likely as you mentioned, condensation nga yung most probable cause.

Okay sir. So, normal lang pala talaga siya. First car ko kasi ito eh kaya medyo di pa ako sanay sa mga ganitong scenarios. Not sure kung normal lang or baka pala problem na. Hehehe.

Thanks sir sa tips. Subukan ko din gawin yan lalo na ngayon at malamig at madalas din ang pag-ulan.

try buying nga mga anti moist/humidity na nakapack. Yung nabibili lang minsan sa Daiso or Blade. Around 50-80 php yata yun. Kung wala talagang leak, you can try this para pag humid days

Bad news
I discovered a small dent sa hood ng M3 ko. I don't know kung saan nakuha yun. Wala siyang gasgas, pero obvious yung dent niya dahil makintab yung paint ng car.
Sabi ng friend ko, kaya gawan paraan sa casa yan, specially bago pa lang yung dent at malambot pa siya, wag lang daw papatagalin.
Sa Mazda daw, pwede ko gawan ng paraan na dumiretso dun sa mga ng service sa casa nila. Meaning hindi officially sabihin sa kay mazda. Kung baga parang under the table. Pumapayag daw minsan. Mas mura, at mas less hassle dahil mabilis lang daw yun at hindi na kailngan iwanan.

Guys, hingi sana ako ng advise sa inyo kung panu gagawin ko.
Thanks

new car blues.. new owner views..
"been there, done that". nagsawa rin ako.. 'buti na lang.. heh heh.
in my opinion, "pabayaan mo na". as long as the bare metal isn't showing, it won't rust.

Don't worry nor hurry. I'm sure a good PDR guy can handle that in minutes, for a few hundred bills. Your location might help guys on here point you to an able 1. PNoy might frown on your casa plan....besides, the casa may not have somebody in-house, squall sir.
