Has anyone else had this issue?

Spotted some water drops behind the passenger seat. Not sure how it’s happened as never noticed any water after washing the car. Must be coming from the roof window seal?

Plenty have looked but no ones replying. You could do a smoke test it would show if you have a leek in the seals

You haven't told us it's a brand new 2021 model - I'd take it back to the dealer and get them to sort it out.

Agree with scm if it’s a 2021 model......let the dealers sort it out.

If you’re curious anyway, there’s plenty of info about this type of water leak in the “You may also be interested in” section at the bottom of this topic.

It’s a 2021 - dealer getting a call tomorrow. Don’t think the leak posts below are in the same location as none of it is ending up in the boot.

Dealer should be able to sort it for you.

Have a read through this link which is taken from the “You may also be interested in” section viewtopic.php?p=49882#p49882

It contains.....”There are three white trim studs on the boot's side and one at the top which was one of my worst leakers letting water in through the ceiling in the cabinet through the roof airbag behind the passenger seat.
I cleaned all the areas and re fitted using some silicone to seal the around the holes before pushing the studs through the bodywork to seal permanently.
I've re-hose tested and it all seems good.”

Also this viewtopic.php?p=49839#p49839.....

"Images show water dripping from passenger side roof airbag area"

Here’s a few pics from the links....

Update: been informed by my dealer this will take 2-3 weeks to fix and offered no courtesy car. Good lord.
