Leaky windscreen?

[Sko_Go]

Cleaned the car last night, and noticed this along the bottom edge of the windscreen....it runs almost the entire length of the bottom edge, but not entirely.

 

Looks like a poorly fitted windscreen to me, with the white / milky edge showing water ingress.

 

The car's not yet 2 months old (well, that's when I collected it, but it could have been sat in a yard for 2-3 months!).

 

Views / thoughts, before I trudge over to see my dealer?

 

Thanks.

I have just bought a 2015 Seat Mii and it is exactly the same but only for about 12 " drivers side. Not too sure about 'leaky windscreen' but it does look like a delamination problem. I'd be interested to hear what the dealer says if you take yours back.

If it was My car I would definitely be taking it back to the dealership for their opinion.

@Sko_Go Yes, I'd think that's delamination as @horkin suggests above. Either way, IMO it's a manufacturing defect and a windscreen out job to repair properly.

[horkin]

This is mine,runs for about 12"/14" drivers side, rest is okay. I wonder if anyone else has similar, is it as common as the 'rattle'

[Sko_Go]

Wow...!

I'm booked in to the dealer for Monday, so I'll let you know how it goes.

[leckman]

Look forward to hear what the verdict is.

Just checked, none on mine, so it is not on every Citigo. Good luck Monday.

[VRS Mike]

none on mine either

Are there any signs of flood in the car? I would look carefully.

Looks as though it's not common.  I'm not sure how much worse it's likely to get but it obviously won't get any better.  I wonder if garaged cars are less prone or even well waxed cars where the water doesn't sit so much?

 

Personally at the moment I don't have an issue with it but will keep my eye on it a few months. I still have 12 months left of the warranty which should cover it if needed. Thing is with changing the windscreen I had Autoglass to change my Fabia one and the made a right mess of the dash with the implement he used to cut/free the seal. Don't want to risk that again.

 

Absolutely no sign of water ingress as yet but as I say I'll be watching it and any further issues I'll report back.

So, dealer says I need a new windscreen.

They didn't provide any further detail as to WHY it needs replacing (faulty screen / incorrectly installed / other) but I will probe harder on next visit (was there for 40 minutes waiting for a technician to peer at it to confirm replacement!)...

[leckman]

Have you had the new screen fitted yet?.

[RickW]

Yes,please can we have an update? It will help us,thanks.

[Sko_Go]

Hi, windscreen replacement date is 1st June.

[Sko_Go]

Oh dear....it's gone again....

Waiting a call back from the dealer...

Clear signs of delamination along bottom edge of screen...

Strange that no else has reported this issue...

I think I’ve got this issue. Gonna check again later and see if it’s the same. 

[leckman]

Has started on mine,have had a look at a dozen or so Citigos and Ups over the last few weeks and would say 70% of them have the same problem.Wondering if it’s worth asking for a new screen if it’s just going to reappear again.
