Default Help: Water leaking inside cabin?

Hello everyone,

I just took my Z for a quick bath and felt water is dropping on my left foot. Thought it would be the same issue I had with my previous C5 as removable tops can get damaged rubbers quickly. HOWEVER, I was shocked when I saw where it is coming from (see picture).

Did anyone face similar leaking?!

No it was the normal automatic wash machine! Not sure if it's a defect from the manufacture to have such bad leak so wanted to check in the forum before I visit the local dealer.

It's possible you didn't get a good seal the last time you installed the top. I would remove it and reinstall.

Follow the instructions in the manual as well.

Line up the rear pins, push down on the front with gentle force. The roof will pop into place.

Then close the front latches and finally the rear.

Thanks for your input. Honestly, I haven't ever removed the top since the time I bought it new yes that is weird!

I use a pressure washer all the time and (thankfully) this hasn't happened to me even though I've removed the roof plenty of times. If you're sure the roof is installed properly I would definitely take it back to the dealer and initiate a warranty claim.

Glad to know it should bare the pressure. Would take it to the dealer and update you guys on the issue. Thanks
