I still miss my 2009 Scout, which I consider the best car I have owned during 55 years of car ownership. Space, flexibility, panoramic roof, it fitted my garage - it ticked every box. Sadly, I had to change it for a DSG following the return of an old knee injury. And while I love my Yeti and am equally reluctant to change it, I loved my Roomster Scout just that little bit more.

Good advice from Evolution13. I found the seat in my Roomster Scout comfortable, but I wished I had tried the seat in my Roomster SE before I bought it as it near crippled me. Similar story when I bought a Yeti. The demonstrator was a Monte Carlo in which I found the seat comfortable. But I find the seat in my Yeti SE far less comfortable. Lesson learnt, I will never buy another car without at least sitting in the exact model that I intend to purchase.

These are easily removed and have been known to "fall off" while the vehicle is parked. I have glued mine into place to prevent further falling-off.

I don't know if this will help but on one of my Roomsters (same setup), I had to sit in the back seat and shove it back with some force before the mechanism would allow me to lift the seat out. But that was only with the rear seats in their original positions.

Wrap a nylon scouring pad around it and twist it out. If the scouring pad does not provide enough grip then you might have to revert to two combination pliers to get enough purchase to twist it out.

A few years ago, a member reported water ingress via the joint between the top end of the tailgate strut and the bodywork. It might at least be worth checking that the mounting screws are tight.

Hi Stanley and welcome to Briskoda. I remember experiencing the same 'sold right away' feeling when I took my first ever test drive in a Skoda. That was sixteen years ago and I've owned Skodas ever since. Enjoy yours

Hi Richgeorge and welcome to the Forum

Yes - but I cannot remember whether I was in my Scout or my SE. I was helping my niece to move home and had put something heavy on the passenger seat, possibly a microwave. I stopped the bong by fastening the seat belt around the microwave.

I have a vague memory of a post in which someone asked if the clip completed the electrical circuit to the heating element in the mirror glass. It would be interesting to know if the heater in @oldstan's mirror still works.

Found this picture in an old thread:

Hi Pete, The parcel shelf gap is normal. Skoda used to sell a flexible plastic "thing" that bridged the gap but I considered it a Heath Robinson at best and an eyesore at worst. I used to cover the contents of the boot with a large black towel. Anyone looking through the tinted side windows sees only black in the gap between parcel shelf and rear seats. Sorry I can't help with the roof shades as mine were silent. But I have read on here of one owner who used a clothes peg (or similar) to hold the shades together. Good luck with the Roomster and I enjoy your thread. I consider my Roomster Scout the best car I have owned in more than fifty years of motoring and I still regret selling it.

Hi Oldstan. This has just come up here: Door mirror components | Yeti Owners Club

Two other long shots: Is there any possibility that the water you see is washer fluid? I have a vague recollection of a post by an owner who discovered rainwater was leaking past the mounts for the tailgate struts. Hope this helps.

Me too! I've owned two Roomsters and consider my Roomster Scout the best car I have owned in more than fifty years of motoring.

Easy peasy! Hope this helps. Plenty of other guides on YouTube.

I have read elsewhere of this being 'cured' by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes to allow everything to reset.
