Hi.

Sorry to see that - any idea why? Is your dealer going to fix the problem? Hope so.

The plastics and warping is disappointing. Doesn't bode well long term. The quality looks/feels Toyota 70 series.

I checked my rubber stops, they were glued on the right side. Well, well, clearly some Quality Assurance problems at Ineos Automotive.
It rained a lot tonight. I have water infiltration, some drops again on the footwell.

As others have said JM, the windscreen wiper issue you had has to be a good place to start looking for ingress point.

Today took some underbody picture of my petrol version, looks good and no claims.
Even exhausting system get some color. Still clean…. It’s to dry in scotland

Quick visit to Blackbushe Airport ( Surrey UK ) for excellent breakfast on Fathers Day.
Guess what I found and parked next to ?
No owner though but nice to see both together.

Which one of you couldn’t park within the lines?

We took delivery of our Dutch Fieldmaster petrol on may 31 and went next day to Sweden and Norway. All performed perfectly well. Did get the odd warning, but you do get used to them. Plenty of space for all camping equipment. Now waiting for the next trip.

The BMW engine means that the lines are only a suggestion or recommendation, not compulsory.

picked up mine (diesel, Trailmaster, MM) last Thursday. On Saturday I put the roof tent on it and drove to the nearest forest overnight.

How are the gutters handling the weight with that rack, any deforminity / flex?

Was no big adventure, just drove about 10km, put it in a quiet place in the forest ;-)
In the morning, we listened to the birds chirping, went for a morning walk, made a coffee and then went home again.

It was only a small test for the vehicle and the setup, both were great!

Would you like to comment on my weight, or even that of my wife?
;-)

I would have liked to take the RR crossbars, but the Thule were the only ones available at short notice. After the reports here in the forum, I used rubber to push the inner foot, which carries the weight, a little towards the vehicle so that the lever is not too big. But too much is not possible because then the sockets are in the way (which curiously have different positions on the left and right).
No problems so far, but it was really only a first small test.

How are the rain gutters holding up to the weight of the roof top tent? apparently Black Sheep are saying that they aren't strong enough?

Noticed water from the same area on ours - has to be AC!

We still haven't had any rain, but as I said, I watered the Grenadier down intensively with the garden hose. I didn't notice any water in the interior.

And I was in a car wash a few days ago. No water visible inside. But that doesn't mean it's all ok.
