And, complementary damaged rear parking sensor.

4th Option is leak in to drivers footwell from joint between inner wing and bulkhead. Skoda Colander- Simply Soaking!

Have a read through this thread in the Karoq section: INSTALLATION OF THE WELCOME AND EMERGENCY LIGHTS (RED) OF THE FRONT DOORS. Really easy mod to do

If you have a phone that is capable of being charged on a pad, simply lay the phone down on the pad (back side down to the pad), and with the engine running you should get a message on the infotainment screen stating that the phone is charging

No, I meant the built-in charge pad under the sliding cover in the centre console.

Not particularly, mine has the original charging phone box and signal amp. At the moment I still have an iPhone 7, so it doesn’t charge on the charge pad, although my wife’s 8+ still fits on the pad and charges even with the CarPlay device fitted. Boot up time takes around 40 seconds or so.

I’ve been using a Carplay2Air for a couple of months now and it’s been a great success. I bought a 90 degree adapter, and it fits brilliantly under the sliding cover in the narrow channel within the phone box. It’s held in place with a strip of double sided tape so that the lid slides shut properly 👍

Richmix, I use Apple Carplay and I always have Google Maps running. The only time the maps zoom in (and then zoom out) is when I come up to and pass an intersection. Even passing under a bridge with a road above will cause the maps to zoom in then revert back to normal view. Otherwise, no problems at all. Incidentally, I run Apple Carplay wirelessly using a carplay2air device. Regarding the 'new' MySKODA app, what a p*** poor effort from Skoda wherever it comes from - why disable a working feature until the new one is up and running correctly! Yet again, Simply NOT Clever...

Ray, if it helps, get them to ring DM Keith Skoda in Hull to ask for any information regarding leaks and/or missing sealant. That's where I took mine to have the problem rectified - which included replacing all the carpets and underfelt (all done under warranty), so they are fully aware of the situation. The worrying thing is that water ingress for any reason is not covered under a warranty extension (my Karoq is out of warranty next month and I have just had the offer of extending it.

All this doesn't bode well for the future ownership of my Karoq. I didn't realise there were so many similar threads to this problem - I posted my experiences of this in July in the Campaign 60E3 thread. What worries me is wether Skoda UK will honour the repairs done under warranty when my particular Karoq comes out of warranty next Feb. When you say your repair was done by a specialist body shop, was there any reason your dealership didn't attempt the investigation and repair?

I bought mine from superskoda two years ago, still looking as new, no signs of becoming unstuck etc. There is a dedicated template device for lining them up, but in reality it's obvious where there should be fitted, so I never bothered with buying it. The most important thing to remember (I believe) is to thoroughly degrease the sills to remove any dirt, polish or wax before fitting them. Line them up first, and mark where one end will be using masking tape, then go for it. It's a one shot fitting, as once they're on, they're on. Just looking at my invoice, that seems a very good price as I paid 74 euros inclusive back then.

Curiously, I've just watched a Youtube review of the new 2021 Jaguar F Pace facelift, and it states that it now has wireless phone charging and a signal booster. Seems like they can be utilised in the UK after all. I wonder how they differ from the Skoda version or licensing?

Have a look at the thread titled Campaign 60E3 from 26 June. I had exactly the same problem - carpets and sound proofing/underfelt completely soaked. The car went in for the 60E3 with me assuming the sunroof would be the problem, but as it turned out, there was a gap somewhere in the sealant between the bulkhead and wing area. Upshot of all this was new carpets all round, all done under warranty. So far so good, but it is strange that the problem took 2 1/2 years to manifest itself.

Not sure about Erwin, but do you have the MySkoda app on a phone or iPad? It shows all the digital service info on mine, even though I use a non-franchise workshop/garage. I've just checked my service info and it also shows when it was actually in to my Skoda dealership for the possible sunroof leak recall last July, although it's titled 'Workshop remark'.

This probably isn’t related but I’ve just had all of the carpets & underlay/soundproofing replaced under warranty due to a leak at near the front offside wing. Apparently there was a gap in the sealant at a joint between the inner wing and bulkhead? Impossible for me to know one way or the other if this was true but the dealer must be fairly confident that it has now been sorted. The car originally went in to have the two campaigns rectified (sunroof drains & AdBlue metering). If sealant can be missed at the front it is just as possible that it could be missed at the rear.

Ha, now I've got your attention. For all Karoq owners out there with the retractable load cover/wind break/partition cover, I was wondering if you have noticed if the cover retracts fully if it's unclipped from the tailgate? My Karoq is coming up to two years old now and I've recently noticed that the last 4 to 6 inches of the cover just hangs there. Following on from Silver's post regarding the similar situation with the Kodiaq load cover I tried to lubricate the mechanism at either end of the load cover body, but it hasn't made any difference. I think the Karoq load cover is slightly different in that the cover lifts upwards as the tailgate rises, so doesn't need to extend or retract much. It is only when you need to remove it completely or retract it completely that the problem arises - also the material is thinner and flimsier if it makes any difference. Has anyone successfully managed to get a new one under warranty, or managed to retention the spring mechanism? Skoda - Simply Slack

Does anyone know if it's possible to replace the Red front door reflectors with working illuminated lights as per the Kodiaq? Just wondering if there is any wiring there in the existing door looms. Thanks.
