They must have changed something at the sealings… mine with Vin xx26xx is dry, doesn’t care how it’s parked, flat, nose up, nose down.
Just because it is so nice I tried the trick again
I agree. It looks like water that first enters at the top of the door, possibly along a roof channel/drain works it’s way down the door frame, where it should release to the ground but for some reason (maybe the seal is too good and/or it’s misplace/misaligned), so it collects between the inner/outer door seals.

Fixed mine. Stuck the outer seal back down. Water is getting in on the shoulder line, not from the top because the rain gutters there. My seal was kinked on the shoulder line near the door handle. Passed the hosepipe test. Sorted.Great news!
I have explored new feature!
You can now have a flood line within your door frame to save the most epic Thunderstorms and floodings for the future generations.
I am thinking about putting small engraved brass signs next to each line with date and location.
Is it a good idea in your opinion?View attachment 7817667
Could you please take a picture of the part you mean. I don’t exactly understand shoulder line in this context.Fixed mine. Stuck the outer seal back down.

The factory, yes.Isn’t the Hambach facility supposed to be one of the most advanced production lines in the world?
You know, in the 1990’s it was standard practice to slit the door seals at the lowest point(s) to allow water out. No real downside to this, as water flows downhill not up.Looks to me like the seals are TOO good.
The water thing seems to have more surprises for us.
The headliner between the front doors and the safari windows shows a water rim, left and right side similarly. Water seems to have been drawn from the plastic frames of the safaris into the roof lining.
It is (yet) very faint to see and hardly photographable. But the eagle eyes of my wife have discovered that (God Save My Queen) and then I saw it as well. Doubtlessly.
So observe this: The headliner above the front doors between the upper door frame and the safari windows.
Should we write and publish a Water Ingress Manual on youtube?

I will do nothing. It's an INEOS thing - and has thus to be solved by my agent.Do not rub ever or you will ruin the headliner
Heat expansion??I had a close look at all my door seals last night - both inner and outer.
Whilst I'm not experiencing any water ingress, I did notice that the driver's outer door seal was starting to deform in one place. It's only slight but I can't see any particular external reason for this happening:
