Thank you for the mutual support
Sad we both have same issue and local weather,
I’m going to go for a personal attempt at resticking the seal.

Mine is booked in next week for new seals on all doors. They are all coming unstuck in a similar place where they have curved the seal tightly.Thank you for the mutual support

Yes seemingly Sir Jim did a great job as I had both Lottie (D90) and Shitake doing the “doors open let the wind dry everything out” Routine yesterdayI am due to collect my beastie next weekend. This does scare me a little bit. The dealer has told me a number of rectification procedures need to be carried out and these have all been done over the past week. He will go through them all with me when I collect.
I know that Ineos were replicating the Defender with this vehicle, and all this reminds me of the 110 I had which actually came with an additional manual called "Defender Water Ingress - Service Rectification Procedures".
Firstly it sets out the 11 *known* sources of water ingression and then details how to fix them. Quite incredible that a new vehicle would be delivered in this condition! I wonder if Ineos have gone a bit too close...! For those interested, the manual can be found here. State of the art reprographics throughout...
The new LR Discovery 5 has a known reputation for dowsing the driver's right arm and all the door electrical switchgear with rainwater if you open the window after it's been sitting in a heavy shower... Seems humankind can do a trip to the moon, but not seal a car door..
Best of luck nodric - I hope you can come back and tell us once it's all sorted.
Thanks rovie I remember you mentioning this. I was just hoping to be able to heat and restick but this is failing so far. Will look out for some of the 3M power tape
Chad going to look at one today do you mind sending a photo of what those holes look like?
I dont have a picture and my car is at the train station an hour away. This thread shows pictures of where the original poster cut his own holes. It’s in this vicinity where circular holes about size of paper holepuncher was punched. https://www.theineosforum.com/threads/pretty-waterfall-from-the-front-door-seals.12413293/
The post literally above you says he tried to fix it himself with no success and that the dealer is ordering the parts to repair it... That certainly sounds like his dealer network is working

Absolutely no complaints about my dealer. They have been both supportive and honest about parts supply etc. (sadly Aus are the main parts distribution centre and initially the whole infrastructure was under early pressure as a new company)
Nothing from dealer
Last week I was at my dealer (the new steering wheel was installed) and he checked the door seals. Three door seals have to be replaced. Dealer couldn't tell how long it takes to get the new seals.Heavy rain yesterday and wet feet. Surprisingly, this is a new "feature".
I hope that the loose rubber seal is the only cause.
I had the bong noise once (no not a water bong bubbling noise, more like a low-pitched ding) when going over a speed bump and it was due to the passenger door actually coming open. My son was sitting in the passenger seat, so it was pretty alarming. There were no warnings that the door wasn't shut so the door literally just popped open.
See my experience - it’s very similar “my experience at 6 weeks”
