My leak turned out to be the rubber electrical trunking between the car roof and tailgate, not sealing after a rear dashcam was fitted, sorted it myself and car is now bone dry. When I originally booked it in though I was offered either a Kamiq or Scala, neither really suitable for my two dogs.

Thanks for that, will see what they have to say when I get it in to them but will suggest the above, many thanks.

After the fiasco I had with the first Karoq and it's badly bodged wheels I'm anticipating a bit of an uphill struggle, the dealers will be so surprised when I tell them that I am apparently not the first person to have water ingress problems in a Karoq

Very interesting thread, took delivery of a sportline Karoq brand new in September with a panoramic roof, this was after returning a 19 plate approved used model which I discovered all four wheels had been refurbished badly but that's another story. A few things have changed with the new model, no longer get the simply clever torch in the boot but one upgrade the dealer didn't tell me about was the simply clever dog pack which it has. Basically this ensures that when I leave my dogs in the back of the car they have a fresh supply of drinking water via the boot light! providing it has been raining recently As nice as it is for the dogs to have a supply of water I only noticed it as it was filling up the "Hatch-bag" boot liner, underneath the area below the boot floor was full of water. Dealer was very surprised as they have never heard of any water ingress problems with Karoqs before. Anyway, booked into the dealers on 29th December where they have kindly offered a Scala or Kamiq while they fix it.

Hi from a first time Skoda owner, have just upgraded from a Mercedes CLS shooting brake, decided to go for petrol as having just retired, not doing as many miles, and didn't want problems with clogged DPFs. So week 1 with a two litre Karoq sportline and finding it a whole load of fun so far.
