Skoda Yeti 2012 | Sunroof Water Leak Video
This Skoda came to us with very damp carpets and mould throughout the passenger side.
As part of our 28 point check, we took a look at the sunroof and found one of the drainage pipes blocked, which seems to be an issue on all the Volkswagen derived 4x4 vehicles.
This seems to have been an ongoing issued with this vehicle, as there was tape over the roof rails and there was evidence of prior repair to the sunroof drainage system.
We would recommend a new set of drainage pipes and replacing them all.
The mould needs to be dealt with, and although we apply an antifungal to the car before we begin work, for our own safety, we will thoroughly decontaminate while we have the seats removed and the carpets up for drying. The whole interior will be done as this car has a mouldy smell and the mould spores will have contaminated the entire vehicle.

The main culprit for causing the wet carpet on this Bentley was a disconnected pipe for the sunroof drainage. It is fairly common on cars with sunroofs for the pipes to shrink with age, and as they shorten they pull off the connectors.
