Hi all. Just returned from my Cape York adventure.
Car has been serviced and cleaned several times. Plenty of red dust from the corrugated roads. No problems, the powder coating is gone from the base/underside of the side steps, that has been reported to ineos, but there was a noticeable dust leak in the rear.
Very minor amount of red dust throughout the car. But I had previously noted a small ingress of water as well after washing, in the middle of the bigger door, at the top. The cargo area was packed full whilst we travelled, and it piled up on the bag that was closest to this point, packed very close to the top of cargo area, almost touching large door rear windows.
I put a torch underneath the inside, and you can see a clear gap between the seal and the metal joins of the roof. There are a couple of seals here, but this is exactly where it came in. I'm going to silicone it up, see if that helps. You can also see the seal has come away from the metal along the top, I'll try to reheat and reattach that.
There are two of these gaps in the roofing, quite obvious when you look at it.
I'll advise if it helps.
