Abstract

See full text

A water drainage structure is provided to prevent drainage water from getting on hot components inside the engine compartment and suppress the occurrence of evaporation noise. At least one water drainage opening is provided in a bottom portion of a vehicle member arranged on the under surface of a floor panel of a vehicle. The downstream end portion of a water drainage pipe is arranged to communicate with the inside of a closed cross sectional structure formed by the floor panel and the vehicle member. Drainage water from a vehicle device flows out of the downstream end portion of the water drainage pipe and is discharged to the outside of the vehicle through the water drainage openings of the vehicle member. As a result, the drainage water is prevented from getting on hot components inside the engine compartment of the vehicle and the occurrence of evaporation noise is suppressed.
