Front door rain on lower door seal (Cill area)
I believe the doors are supposed to "run" the rainwater inside the door to the drain holes at the bottom, (I stand to be corrected) TBH we could title a song "12 months rain" in the uk
- Is this signalling the end of high performance cars

I've got the Fabia booked in with my detailer this Friday, I like to think I maintain my paintwork in good order but after seeing what was possible on my golf I'm keen to let him loose on the fabia, I can then maintain the paintwork for the next 12 months I'll post some pics Friday

Disabling remote locking.
Mine automatically re-locks if a door isn't opened within 1 minute and I have all doors unlock with a single press, if the car locked and you unlocked with one press your wife's door would have been locked when she closed it and not open on exit ?

Drive shafts ??
Seen when we changed the front shock absorbers last week (can be done without disconnecting hub nut), used genuine is a viable option

Key fob not unlocking passenger side
Have you tried pressing the unlock button on the fob twice ?

Drive shafts ??
My l/h drive shaft is quite corroded where the hub nut attaches, I think if we need to do any intervention on that side requiring hub nut removal the threads will no longer exist, where is the best source of a "good quality" reasonably price spare (Drive shaft) for future use ?
