Parking a car under a tree can lead to clogged drains, water getting into the interior and damage to the paintwork. A separate danger is posed by branches that can fall on the car during strong winds.
Leaves under a tree can clog a car's drains
Fallen leaves can accumulate in the body's drainage channels. Autoportal experts note that clogging them can disrupt water drainage and lead to it getting into the interior.
Tree resin is also a problem for the body. It gets onto the car's paintwork and can damage it.
"Clogged drains, water in the interior, damage to the lacquer and the risk of branches falling during strong winds," notes the author Oleksii Astapov.

Thus, the source names three main risk factors for a car under a tree: fallen leaves and the drains they clog, resin on the paintwork and the possible falling of branches.
