I am the newest winner of the Disco 5 windshield leak disaster (2019). Significant water accumulation in the passenger side floor board. Insurance says will not cover the cause of the leak, only damages from the leak.... Therefore, replacing the windshield is on me.

TSB Service Action N56NAS1 - "Windshield Water Ingress" which includes my VIN number was valid through 7/31/23. Does this mean I am completely out of luck? I cannot fathom that there is nothing else that can be done for such a significant and clearly well-known issue. Any advice?

 

I know the standard LR fix for the leaky windshield involved replacement of the windshield but I cannot understand why a good glass shop could not remove the leaky windshield, clean off the old adhesive/sealant, and reinstall it properly.

 

Last week, during a car wash, I noticed a leak from the top of both the driver and passenger side of my car. I contacted the dealership, and they provided me with the phone number of a person who could reseal the windshield for $225. I had the job done, and since then, there has been no more leaking. The person who resealed the windshield informed me that if the issue persisted, we could involve the insurance company. However, in my case, it was not necessary.

 

I have a '22 Disco 5 HSE. 1 1/2 years into service it started leaking. There is a design fault here, and pretty much every 3 -4 years, it will leak, more ... or less. Make friends with the glass shop if out of warranty. Mine has been fixed under warranty, but I am not holding my breath that won't happen again.
