I can also see the water pouring down the inside of the screen, and behind the dash. Anyone have any recommendations or should I just remove the screen and re seal it? Is this something Auto windscreens can do??

I fear you will have to live with that, somehow. And check the bonnet as well. My dealer was telling me that sometimes water drips from the "engine bay" (later I have to go to the garage and I'll take a pic) more than "behind the dash".

Thanks you for the "indirect" help. You made me discover who is the manufacturer of my Porsche classic radio I put on the Supersports.

As I wrote here only last week, my new 4/4 has a couple of leaks.

The new motor has been lurking under cover for the last week and has been brought out for a MOCA run tomorrow.

Meanwhile our drought seems to have been relieved by a week of overcast and sometimes wet weather (but not in country/farming areas) so I am including a towel in the kit for tomorrow to mob up any embarrassing spills.

Meanwhile the dealer is confident these leaks will be fixed during next week's first service.

What puzzles me is that when I visited the factory last October it was pouring with rain. I saw a number of cars being taken out on road test in the wet. Did those cars have leaks fixed?

Cheers guys. Im going to get the screen re bonded, and fit a new rubber trim to it to see if that helps. Ill also give the factory a call about the revised rubbers (im sure ive read a thread on this somwhere?). But mainly ill just 'man up' and enjoy her for what she is.

Good luck


And a microfibre cloth to wipe condensation off the side windows!!

Worryingly Aldermog is, other than the small gap at the lower front of the side screen, waterproof driving into rain: a truck going past on a very wet road is a bigger challenge... Another reason to avoid Motorways!


I have fitted a small kidney shaped piece of high density foam to each sidescreen. They fit against the sidescreen bracket. Thickness is approx 5mm and they nicely fill the gap.
