First of all thanks very much for your detailed explantion of the cause of the panoramaroof water leakage.
Last week I removed the passenger front seat since I noticed water on the floor maps, unfortunately
we did not have sufficient time to remove the headliner.
While checking the drainageholes in the front all was ok.
Yesterday we partly removed the headliner enabling us to see the drainage tubes assuming the tube connections
were the cause. (as seen on YouTube)
After sealing the front tubes, we did a test and much to our surpise we noticed water at the front of the frame assembly
was leaking thru.
We initially thought by applying some seal on the bottom of the frame we could solve this matter, but after having applied
the seal the leakage was now vissible at the front of the frame as clearly indicated on your very much appreciate summary.
Laking time we had to close the headliner applied tape to the outside of the window to prevent water leaking thru.
Repair / Fix to be continued.
Today I'm going to send an e-mail to Skoda but mine Yeti is 4,5 years old, had the warrenty extented to 4 years but meanhile expired ,
and fear that Skoda Holland will reject my claim, eventhough it clearly seems to be a design fault.
Removal of the complete roof is quite time consuming, so I hope by applying the correct sealant to stop the leakage completely, but
needbe would have to remove the entire roof or continue to drive with a useless roof taped closed to prevent water leakage.
Sofar only the front right passenger side is effected.
kind regards,
Martin.

This roofleakage is driving me bonkers.
Today removed the headliner and inspected the drainage tubes affixed to the panorama roof assembly.
(as was well)
However when I did a test running water over the glass roof I noticed water is leaking thru the plastic/metal
construction of the window frame.
After close examination could not find any crack but water is still leaking onto headliner, view limited time had to stop,
taped the roof to avoid water leaking thru.
Has anybody encountered the same problem, drainage holes open tubes affixed but water still sipping thru into the interiour
of the car?
My Yeti is 4.5 years old, so no warranty valid on the roofof car.
tks for feedback and possible solution suggestions/advice.
-
Unfortunately Roofleakage still not solved.
Airbag error resetted at dealer.
Tomorrow I will remove the headliner enabling a closer look at the drainage connections and
take appropriate action to solve this issue.

Today I removed one front seat, due to water leakage of the panarama sunroof.
I had no time to completely remove the headliner, but it seems dat one drain rain hole was dirty blocked.
Removed the bottom floor covering and wet filt, dried it for approx 90 percent and reinstalled all removed items.
Unfortunately I now get and Airback error, since we had to disconnect all chair connectors, I assume I should have
removed the battery leads?
So I need to have the error resetted at the Dealer, it will just take less than 15 minutes so cost should be bearable.
I will now closely monitor the drain holes to avoid future inner water leakage.

The first photo are my old buttons, since the new version did not work (assume you have to reprogramme)
langers2k, the part number of the new version w22/15 control knobs is 5eo 419 685 A fod 307764415w29-AB
manufactured 15.01.2018.
The shipping box indicates Octavia 5E Fabia N Rapid NH and Kodiaq NS. (5E0064241j fmk)
I advised the seller my vinnumberand they confirmed a perfect fit for a Yeti 2014 and buttons would be Plug and Play,
the later is not the case.

Original Skoda type Hawk 17 inch White.

Last Friday I replaced my steering wheel, by an Original Skoda flat bottom version. (5E0064241j fmk)
Eventhough the supplier advised it would be plug and play, I still needed to exchange the control
knobs from my old wheel, since Skoda slightly changed the layout as from w22/15.
photo 2 red Arrows hightlight the differences.

My first Yeti Elegance was a 1.2 tsi turbo much to my surpise I noticed during the initial test drive that this engine performed quite well compared to my previous Opel Corsa 1.4.
After 4 years I replaced the 1.2 and went for the facelift Yeti 1.4tsi, this engine has just more power you sometimes miss when overtaking on the high way and you just need a bit more power.
On the otherhand the 1.2 tsi was much cheaper on fuel consumption, compared to the 1.2tsi.
Soundwise the 1.4 engine make less sound than the 1.2.
During the summer holidays in the South of England the 1.2 had no problems at all with the different road conditions, vursus flat surface driving in Holland.
So personally I would recommend the 1.4 tsi, but at the end of the day you need to balance out what your requirments and expectations are.

I think 32gb (card is blanc), I was just currious if I could re-use this sd card.
-
I have an old v6 navigation sd card which I used to update my Amundsen+ in 2014, I would like to re-use it for mp3 music playback.
However these sd card are not readable on a pc or laptop (software protected by supplier), is there anyway to access the card and than
doing a complete format?
tks.
-
PaveyArk, can you kind post a photo of the New Amundsen in your Yeti.
Tks. kindly.

These are 17inch Hawk Skoda rims, Octavia III, euro 185,00 each.
a long time ago I owned a Suzuki 413 and Vitara and they both had steel white rims.
Yes you need to clean them more often than black or Silver wheels, but who cares I like them
very much on my Yeti.

Initialy I wanted to order a Yeti Elegance 1.4 tsi Outdoor, but personally I liked the City version more.
So at the end I decided to go for the City version, my brother in law ordered the Outdoor.
See attached photo of our Yeti's.
Ik don't think you will regret the model /colour scheme you now have ordered.
Recently changed the 17 inch Scudo rims for the 17 inch Hawk version.

After having enjoyed my Yeti 1.2 tsi Aqua Blue for the last 50 months, last saturday I picked up my brand new Yeti 1.4 tsi.

High, it does not seem fair that if you buy a Octavia 2014 with the Amundsen you get the free map update possiblity and
if you buy a Yeti 2014 with the pre-installed maps in the Amundsen+ this feature is not avaible.
Okay I meanwhile understand that new Amundsen Octavia III is made by a different company, but how can Skoda
justify to brand new owners of a Yeti with the Amundsen+ that they will have to purchase new future maps for their
own account?
-
Yesterday I collect my brand new Yeti 1.4 tsi with Amunsen+, acc. to the dealer the Navigation Data is preloaded on the Flash Memory of
the Amundsen+. (so I also did not get a SD navigiaton card for back up)
But while brosing the internet found this link, apparently you can update the latest Amundsen models.
Perhaps you can check with your local dealer, how to further proceed.

I did this upgrade 3 years ago.

The Xenon was an extra acc. cost around euro 1100,00 incl seat heating.

The Rear Spoiler is standard black plastic, so went to a body repair shop and had it sprayed
together with some other parts.
Macdemon, already complained to my dealer, but regretfully there is nothing they can
do.
-
It hasn't rained that much lately in the Netherlands, but I did notice some improvement.
In my case it was a cosmetic upgrade, if it helps keeping the rear windows at bit cleaner than
this is a bonus.

Leaking Panoramic Roof - The Cause and the Cure
in Skoda Yeti
Posted
Tks. for your reply.
The easy and fastest fix is obviously applying Captain Tolley's sealant, is this does not do the job than I will need to take
other measures to fix this problem of a faulty Panorama roof frame.
