Hi Ken, Still can't say that they have taken the responsibility. I'll let you know when they'll finish. This was not a replacement, not done by myself or the leasing company. Surprising to say that, but Czech office did not sound surprise when they said they are taking the repairs on their tab... Have you ever heard of something like that with any type of skoda? I Have to say I was pretty satisfied with the car until I found about this. My main concern is that when water gets into the electrical systems you can never know how this is going to end. Not sure replacing rusty parts would help once they were swimming in 3cm of water...

I have a 2008 Roomster, which was bought used after it was in leasing for 3 years. The car was excellent, until winter started. I usually park under the building so I haven't noticed it, but two weeks ago, I opened the car after a heavy rain and found out the driver side (and the seat behind it) had wet floor. Actually you can say that there was a serious puddle there. Took it to my garge. They found out that there was a problem with the windshield which was connected to the car only by two small dots of silicone. I was ready to pay for it myself, but when they took down the windshield to put the new silicone, it turns out that all the electricty under the dashboard is rusty. Called the leasing company, and they said they haven't changed the windshield so it's not their problem. They talked to the main skoda garge around and sent the car there. The Czech technical dept. of skoda told them to repair the windshield dry the car (that part took them 6 days by the way) and check all the electricity (replace the problematic components). Skoda is paying for the whole thing. My question is has anyone ever heard of problems with the windshield in Skoda (doesn't have to be roomster). I just want to understand where I am at with the company, cause replacing the parts might not solve the problems. Thank you Sivan
