Fixed windshield and next week they offered to update the software. Btw I have a tune on it with a visible tuning box and they didn’t care.

We passed on a particular Disco at the dealership when we were uncomfortable the excuse for wet center console was ‘someone opened the sunroof’. It had been raining, but the drip pattern didn’t seem consistent. This was after doing a bit of last minute research. We had already signed paperwork even.

sales manager confessed that they had taken that particular disco to the shop and tested it, decided it was getting repaired and a new windshield when available from manufacturer.

They told us the issue is the sealant install at the factory. Apparently the rework uses a different sealant or perhaps amount/technique.

Anyhoo, it seems to be a design/quality control issue.
