Hi folks,
Just thought I would give you a quick heads up on an issue that my affect everyone. I have had to book the car in today to get the parcel shelf and boot seal replaced under warranty due to premature wear. The premature wear is brought about by opening and closing the boot. This is something my wife does quite a lot as she is a mobile hairdresser which maybe why we have noticed it so soon.
The wear on the boot seal was caused by the parcel shelf rubbing on the seal when the boot is opened and closed. With nothing on the shelf its OK but we had the complimentry LR brolly on ours and this causes the shelf to move slightly when opening and closing the boot.
The LR service manager said they may have to put the car into the bodyshop to modify the shell to ensure the parcel shelf doesnt keep rubbing. Car is booked in at the end of the month so I'll update the thread to let you know what they did.
