    2019 Discovery SDV6 HSE Lux Namib Orange

    Door Lock Covers Loose

    Not sure if it is due to the colder weather, but both my drivers side and passenger side door lock covers keep popping off with the power washer.....!

    I have seen on “disco5forums” this has been a topic and the conclusion was that dealers have been replacing the loose ones FOC under warranty. However, there can be the usual fight to get the dealer to agree to this.....

    Any others experiencing the same and warranty replacement successes.?

    Mine was in for this, they were going to replace the covers but managed to sort it somehow (probably blue tack on the inside of the cover Whistle )

    Mine popped off today while having the car washed. It does appear to be loose fit.

    I’ve lost the passenger one twice in the local car wash. They keep a box of them that they fish out of the car wash every day. I had a choice of about 6 colours! Every one was from a D5. This isn’t a random issue - it’s a design fault.

    Mines the same, I heated them up with a hairdryer, squeezed them a bit to bring the lugs in, put them back on and they have stayed on so far.

    Was speaking to someone with access to more than one D5 yesterday and they have all been the same.

    Took the car in for a pre-service agreement for purchase under warranty. No issue under warranty and I think they even change the lock to door seal (we will see).

    Didn’t have to show them my car as the used D5 they had for sale popped off in my hand as an example. Best order 4 not 2 Laughing

    The passenger side cover is loose on mine. I had a really close look and it seems that the plate that holds the cover is damaged. There seems to be a "pip" missing at the bottom of the plate. The plate looks as if the bottom has been broken or mal-formed when molded.

    Got mine replaced last week under warranty.

    It was the dealers second attempt as first time they ordered 2x Driver’s covers instead of one of each. Easy mistake to make...... Rolling with laughter

    However, I think they got the colour slightly wrong......

    How bad is that? Are their eyes painted on?

    I never realised there was another orange choice, apart from Namib Orange. Shocked

    Maybe they were wearing shades as the orange paint is so intense Cool Laughing
