Water leak through front cabin interior light

Featured Replies

A few drops of water found coming through the interior lights on my 57 plate Roomster Scout at the weekend. It was particularly squally at the w/end and I imagine that the radio aerial mount is letting rain in and then it's dripping through to the roof mounted front cabin reading lights. Although I've not noticed the leak before, if it has been there a while, it might explain the terrible FM reception I get on the factory-fitted stereo?

Thankfully it should, I guess, be fixed under warranty (which runs out in September). Anyone else had an issue similar?

Are you sure the leak is coming from the antenna and not the screen ?,On some roomsters the screen leaks as it's not been sealed properly,even some Fabia's are effected,your dealer should have been notified if it has the Skoda's portal software and they should even have the car's VIN's of those effected.If you want me to check for you send me the VIN through a pm and will get back to you .

My 08 Roomster Scout is doing the same thing - PM sent.

Many thanks,

Our -07 Roomster was also doing the same - a model without glass roof meaning the aerial is in the front.. I had the aerial fixed (on my own expense) once, but the dripping im heavy rain continued. The radio reception was also poor.

Edit: I solved the problem by selling the car B)
