Just a straw pole to assess the percentage of people who have, or who have had a pan roof that has not leaked...

2016 L&K 2.0ltr diesel, we have never had an issue.

I had one on the Kamiq 1.5tsi Monte Carlo, I looked out of it at a thunderstorm then slid the blind back and left it there.

I was asked by a couple of other owners (different makes) who had problems but I could not help.

I would theorise that driving so the chassis is subjected to twisting on a regular basis would increase the chances of leaking or cracking.

Someone posted last year asking the same just not a pole though.

Exactly the same

That's my theory too - otherwise they would all leak after a few years as parts aged.

 

Perhaps another poll should add "Do you regularly drive on broken,bumpy roads" (no joke intended about the state of local roads)

Mine leaked at 3 years old and 18k miles.  (2017 L&K)

 

Dealer attempted a repair but that failed.  Dealer then replaced the Cassette.

 

It's been fine since ( 4 years) 

Elegance 1.2 Tsi, elevwn years old and, touch wood, never had the dreaded leak.
