Have checked Google for above but nothing matches apparent problem. When
parked nose-down in heavy rain, water gathers in light assembly above
windscreen. Any braking causes rain to pour out of light and down w/screen
and fascia. Is it from aerial or possibly w/screen, in area above rain
sensor led`s?
TIA

Wally.

Yep.

Nope.

You need to remove and reseat the aerial - use a bit of silicon if
necessary.

Hi Nom -- thanks for your reply. Would I be on the right lines by removing
the interior light/switch assembly,
at top of w/screen, to gain access to underside of aerial?
Thanks again,
Wally.

Yep, spot on.

I'm pretty sure the Haynes manual has a step-by-step.
