    Is this leak a windscreen issue?

    Coming back from my son's football this morning, we had a spirited drive around a roundabout at which point my lad in the front passenger seat shouts "Dad, there's water falling on me." Turns out it was coming out of this slatted area on the left-side of the rear view mirror housing.

    Is this typical of the front windscreen leaks so many people report, or is this somehow linked to the air-con, and therefore something different?

    Any clues appreciated, so I can decide if I need to book this in, Never had anything like it happen before.

    On my previous one i did have water coming dripping out of there when i had a windscreen issue, so I'm afraid to say it looks worryingly like you may have some water coming in the windscreen seal.

    Thanks for confirming - I'll call the dealer in the morning and get it booked in. I did think I was being luck to be seven years into D5 ownership, car number two, and not have had this problem!

    Is car still in warranty, if so don't call dealer, call LR Assist, they should come out quickly, temporary seal then get it booked in with dealer and you should get a LR assist car. When mine leaked in August, car was at dealer for a week waiting for new screen to turn up.

    Bloody good LR Assist service. Called 7.55am, LR Assist tech due within two hours to my work. Appreciate the suggestion to get them involved, and not go direct to the dealer. Monday mornings aren't normally that good!

    Did the tech fix it, temporarily or otherwise?

    He was on-site 1hr 10 mins after I called LR Assist, on a Monday morning, you can't get better than that. He 'crash wrapped' the top of the screen and told me the dealer would be in touch to have the car within 24-48hrs, as soon as they'd sorted the loan car. Not heard yet, but will chase tomorrow afternoon if no call....

    Again, a big thanks. Just dropped my car in and have a nice very low mileage 25-plate RR Sport for the next few days. I've told them not to rush!
