Water leak and headliner mark

[agentthumb]

I thought I was the only one...

No water ingress, didn't really worry about as you have to know it's there to find it.

Did you have any repair done to your car by any chance?

Thats damn near identical to mine, and no, I don't have a sunroof and have had no work or repairs done on the car.

Not sure how long its been there as dry inside, just a faint line from one side to the other. I only noticed it today when getting some gear out of the back. Design flaw perhaps ?

I think it's a bad batch of roof liners to be honest. It's never been damp.

When was your car made? Mine was March 2015. Pretty sure it's been there since new

Mine is a November 15 build, it lives undercover so can't imagine how it would get wet.

As a motor trimmer by trade I can add a comment on this one , be aware where the roof lining finishes in some cars the edge of the roof trim is tucked under the rear tailgate seal . If the seal is not seated properly water can get under and the roof lining will act like a sponge and just draw the water into the fabric . I saw this with some brand new Holden many years ago that had sunroofs fitted by HBD in Adelaide , I pointed out what they had done wrong with the roof linings as they were sucking water from around the tops of the door seals . Worth checking .

Guys

just a heads up I work in the motor trade and a lot of these mk7 have roof leaks caused by aftermarket window tinters caused by them doing the back window they need to lift the plugs out and keep a towel there while they do it.
