Basically, it's a container that collects water. Specifically, it catches any water that gets past the weather stripping around your roof panel, like around the sunroof or if the seals start to age. It prevents that water from running down inside your headliner and causing stains, mold, or even damaging the electrical components up there. It’s a pretty simple idea, really. Think of it as a last line of defense. Your weather stripping does the primary job of keeping water out, but no seal lasts forever. The catch can sits underneath where water could leak through, and it directs it to a drain tube. That tube then sends the water out somewhere safe—usually down a drain near the wheel well. It’s a part of the overall water management system for your vehicle, preventing bigger problems down the road. Water inside your car is never good. It can cause rust, corrosion, and really mess up the electrical system. A leaky roof can lead to some expensive repairs if you ignore it. The catch can is a relatively inexpensive part that can save you a headache. You’ll notice if it’s clogged, because water will start to drip inside. We stock a lot of these at Fixparts Online, and they're pretty straightforward to replace if yours is cracked or full of debris. It's a good preventative measure, and it’s a lot cheaper to replace a catch can than to fix water damage. Drive with confidence: Catch Can (MPN 7E8067241) is backed by a 12-month warranty!
