Hi, my 2016 Yeti was full of water in both the drivers and passengers footwells as well as both of the rear foot wells. I’ve taken it to a Skoda dealer and they say it’s the sunroof and will need a new one at a cost of £2000. Given that Skoda are aware of this problem does anyone have experience of Skoda replacing free of charge given that it is a known fault. Cheers

..unlikely, plenty of threads on this subject.

Skoda don't seem to recognise it as being their problem, (which it obviously is).

You would probably be OK under 3 years old, and you "may" be able to get a contribution if it has been regularly looked after by a Skoda / franchised dealer but at 4/5 years old i would not hold my breath....

 

Previous threads give options for a "DIY" fix if you think you are able to have a go yourself?

I bet the model is an Le&aK

£2000 is cheap it's usually around £3500 from a main dealer including labour.

 

Rainworth Skoda Mansfield specialise in a repair service at around £1000

You can only ask but like others I'd be surprised if Skoda came through. When I bought mine I bought the extended warranty, taking it from three to five years.  The sunroof is explicitly excluded as it is from the subsequent renewals I've paid for so clearly Skoda themselves do have an inkling that all is not well becasue otherwise why exclude something that you don't expect to cause any problems? I been really pleased with my Yeti but the fairly widespread problem of leaking sunroofs has always been at the back of my mind and with hindsight I probably would have saved the (considerable) cost and not specced it. 

 

Rather worried at that figure of £3500 for a replacement. My car is coming up for 8 years old with 60,000 miles on the clock so if it develops a leak and "the fix" doesn't work my options seem to be transparent tape across the roof (or perhaps generous amounts of that nice silver stuff printed with "Skoda - Simply Clever. Unfortunately not Waterproof) or to scrap it.  Let's just hope it doesn't come to that.
