HB,
As far as the ingress of water at the windscreen pillar goes, I had the same issue as there is no rubber seal at the base of the pillar. I squeezed some black “sikaflex” along the outside edge of the pillar and this solved it. I’m away from the car so can’t send a picture, but I’ll post one later in the week when I get home. I judge this as a modification of a small imperfection and the type I enjoy solving. Radiators though are a major component which should NOT leak and the factory are negligent in leaving the dealers to just replace with similar defect (ref our friend in Belgium on his 4th rad)
Cheers!
