Thanks, good advice! I wonder if I was a bit too quick on the drying time...bit depressing to see the leak again but hey ho. I think this time I might wait for a dry day, tape the sunroof up, and attempt again next year in the warmer weather. Does anyone know if there is a separate fuse for the sunroof control and how to find it?

So, looks like I spoke too early and jinxed myself. Lots of rain coming down today and the leak is back. I have to suspect the "hairline crack" scenario now I think. As I was googling for a suitable sealant, I cam across this pdf technical bulletin detailing a "foil tape" repair for VW Golf sunroofs. Has anyone seen something similar for the yeti or other VAG sunroofs? MC-10128041-9999.pdf

I must say, I find it extremely poor form that a car less than 5 years old is developing such leaks. Love the car but unimpressed with the sunroof quality.

100mls is plenty! I had a 1ml syringe, probably used 10 mls at most, and that was adding some to the other side as well.

None of it was difficult, but it was annoying doing it outside and exposed.

Well. Probably took me two hours to remove grab handle and sun visor and pull the trim down. Bought some curtain wire to use to poke down and clear out the drain hole. A mechanic would have and easier time doing it all inside when applying the sealant, probably took me 4 or 5 hours of pottering over three days, as I had to reattach the wind deflector each night, cover with tarp etc, then start again the next day. My concern would be that the leak could be something different...perhaps they could pull down the liner and investigate first to pinpoint the leaky spot?

Hi all, For what it's worth, I've just had the same/similar leak in a 2016 yeti on the passenger side. Upon pulling down the headliner etc I found it to be leaking in the place mentioned by the original poster, where the plastic meets the aluminium, just a few drops at a time but enough over a weekend to soak the passenger footwell. I unscrewed and pulled the wind-deflector back, and found a quite crude repair with black silicon on the drivers side already in place, which explained why the a-cover on the drivers side had been slightly misfitted. As I have no garage/undercover parking, and the recent weather has been unpredictable at best, I've had to attempt to repair the leak outside/uncovered. For this reason I tried the Burgess Marine Creepy Crack Seal (as a previous poster mentioned), as this says it will still set in the presence of water. Over three days I progressively added a drop at a time via syringe to the spot. Allowed to dry and repeated. Probably added about 10 layers. Temp was <10 degrees. At the beginning it didn't appear to be doing anything but gradually it built up a layer over the area. Thus far, about three weeks in, it appears to be watertight. Will update if any failure. (oh, and to add, many thanks to this forum for the methodology!!!)

Thanks all

Hi all, lurker and non-poster, but I wondered if anyone could help. I'm looking for slightly more affordable (than the cross climates) all-season tyres and coming up with Goodyear Vector Allseason or Conti Allseason contact. However, when I plug my reg number into the sites, the standard tyres come back with a W rating for my car, and the aforementioned tyres only come with a V rating... Are they ok to fit (legally and insurance-ly)? I notice on some of the tyre threads, there are pictures of peoples tyres with a V rating. Thanks

The same thing happened to me late last year - business edition advertised with amundsen satnav, but it was only a Bolero without DAB. In the end I negotiated a discount, and had the smartlink activated. I use google maps/waze though apple car play. I also have the planet rock app (i guess other dab apps would do the same thing) which then lists all the dab stations to select. Works a dream.

Hi RobertT, I had a similar dilemma. In the end, I had Apple Carplay enabled, and I am very happy with it. Connect the phone and google maps works flawlessly. I have the app for Planet Rock installed on the phone, and when I select that on varplay it gives access to all the DAB stations. Sound quality is excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to have carplay enabled!
