Some BMW 530i owners report experiencing water accumulation in the rear floorboards due to clogged sunroof drains or damaged vapor barriers. Clogged sunroof drains can lead to water leaking into the vehicle, and clearing these blockages with compressed air is essential for proper drainage. Additionally, a damaged vapor barrier, particularly behind the driver's door panel, can cause water seepage into the rear floorboards, making it crucial to ensure that the barrier is properly sealed. Promptly addressing these issues is important to prevent further water damage and maintain the vehicle's interior integrity. Regular maintenance checks on sunroof drains and vapor barriers are recommended to avoid future water-related problems.
