Apologies

Had a leak in mine and finally tracked it down to the push plug thingies that hold the panel to the firewall, the one the wiper shafts come through.

Had a windscreen replace while I wasn't here and he must of had a job to get it off because of the silicon at each plug, he put it all together and first rain it leaked.

Re-applied the silicon and all is sealed again. Would have thought he would have done a better job as it must be common.

Hey Macca,

Was that a glass claim through us?

No mate, thats why I put "off topic"

But I am moving over to you just before our next trip to the centre and taking the 15K recovery offer.

Jackson has been looking after our policy and he is very good to deal with.

Going to wipe the 6 weeks left on our existing policy to get the better cover you offer.

It's called the Scuttle Panel (amongst other more profane things) and it is almost always guaranteed to leak on the Pax footwell if the Windscreen dude isn't experienced with Patrols.

The source is usually from the Scrivet type fasteners...

Sorry for the 'jack

Yes ET it was the passenger side too. Screvit, thats the word. Thanks

As I haven't driven the vehicle since the install haven't even started it I'm unsure where the leak is from but i used to see it dripping down the a pillar
and also saw it a few times come through the rear view mirror, It was the original rubber not now.

My main concern though is the roof lining the parts going down the a pillar weren't put at all then they came back and sort of jammed them in
and done an absolute terrible job and have also torn the corners of the lining.
The installers said its not my fault the roof lining on GQ's shrink that''s the best I can do.

I struggle with confrontation so just left it, but after a lot of thought I've decided I'm not happy with the that''s the best I can do attitude,
since I'm removing every stone chip, scratch and dent and redoing all the flooring and half the electrics,
I believe I shouldn't have to put up with a shoddy job and piss poor excuses.

I know my roof lining wasn't perfect before but it didn't have tears in the front corners and fitted well.

Sorry for the long winded post

Morning Colin,

Really sorry to hear this and as you know i'm getting the team onto it today. You may get a call just to understand a bit more about what's been going on. The repairer will definitely be getting a call.

My advice with these sorts of things is ALWAYS give us a call. If you're not getting what you need out of a repairer we need to know about it - we will confront them for you mate that's what were here for.

The worst that can happen is we investigate and the answer is nothing more can be done, but that way you can get some sort of resolution rather than it lingering around in the back of your head.

Stay tuned.

Just wanted to say thanks for your help Kalen.
I'll be going down to see the windscreen guys this week and leaving my rig with them for the day so they can refit everything right.

Hopefully the roof lining will look as good as the rest of the car.

Who does your windscreen repairs Kalen?
Mine needs to be replaced after copping a stone from a truck on the freeway this morning. Scared the shite out of me too. As i though some little turd was dropping stones from the over pass. But it was the truck in front litterally dropping half his load over the road.
