I've been away on holiday.

Car steamed up this afternoon so I thought I'd turn the Aircon on to demist it, just thinking it's the ambient damp air causing it.

Noop sat inside and noticed a drip on the seat!

Coming from passenger sunblind pivot!

Can't spot anything amiss with the seals on roof.

Booked in tomorrow to be looked at!

They have kept the car.
When blind pivot removed tech got wet!

Can't see where it's coming in yet, was given courtesy car, and await outcome.

Panel finally arrived, downside is the windscreen broke removing the old one with plastic trim tools, garage questions if it was the windscreen all along responsible for the leak?

No idea how long the replacement will take, I'll just have to wear the tyres out on the courtesy #1

So it took a month to get a replacement windscreen?

They had the windscreen within a week, but not sure why they took a few more weeks to sort it!

I then was on holiday for a week.

Coming to work tonight, I have noticed that the smart pilot lane centering is off and it steers left, the driver display that shows the traffic in the lanes is also incorrect, I suspect that the camera needs calibration.

I'll have to chase them up tomorrow.

Unless this is a effect of the 1.4.1 update maybe?

Hi guys,

My car is also leaking. It’s leaking badly from where the SOS button is. I’ve taken it to the dealership as it’s only a few
Months old and I’m not the only one. Another person has the same issue.

Been told the part will not arrive before Feb 2025 so my car is stuck in the dealership until then. Unfortunately it’s outside and I don’t know if they have done anything to stop the leaking in the meantime.

I would ask that all should check just in case. Mine didn’t leak until a bad downpour.

I would insist that they apply some of the protective shipping film (white plastic stuff) over the roof area while they have it in their care to stop it getting worse.

On the plus side mine hasn't had a repeat since the repair (yet ;-) )

Identical leak to Markymoo. Car with the dealer now, was hoping to have it back in a couple of days, looks unlikely
