Hi - I cant get a close enough pic - but around the foglight seal there is green mould

 

doesn't look like moisture has got in - but do others have this ?

 

would it be covered by warranty ?   first car I have ever had with manufacturers warranty !

 

thanks 

David

 

 

Mines coming up on 5 years. I've had occasional in main headlamp but never anything in fog...

Going to call down to dealer when near - and see what they think.   

 

it will only get worse not better  - I see it as a fault   but wether the dealer will ?

14 months since new and no moisture in any lights. If it is moisture in there and if, therefore, the light isn't sealed, that should be a warranty fix. 

I think you will find that the headlights aren't sealed

It’s happening on my 2019 sportline but after a previous experience about 3 years ago when I complained about it happening on my previous Superb both the dealer and Skoda Uk were a waste of time. Told me it wasn’t covered under warranty so on this occasion I’m not even bothering to complain. As previously said I was told they’re not sealed units and this can sometimes happen

I had the same problem with my headlights.

My local dealer showed me a technical information document from Skoda Tech support. To them, it’s normal since the headlights are not sealed (as said above). Thus, they didn’t change anything...

It globally disappeared on its own. One efficient solution is to drive long enough with lights ON, so that it dries the inside.

 

Another solution is to grab a Tampax from your wife (yes, it may sound strange) and to insert it in the light, to absorb all the humidity. Put it in the evening and let it over the night, to get the best result. 
Its a tip used by underwater photographers to protect their camera against fog or leakage in their water resistant case for camera. Very efficient.

I also have green stuff under the edge of the foglight glass - it is algae. It doesn't get much worse, and it doesn't affect the performance of lights that have no practical use anyway, in my experience.

 

I also have moss growing on the outer window seals.

 

The car is turning green. It is, therefore, becoming eco-friendly - this is a good thing!

Mine too, but only apparent on close inspection. No moss on my window seals though! (I try to keep those clean)
