Tailgate Light Water Ingress

Unread post by spacebiscuit »

After some heavy rain yesterday I opened the tail gate to find water dripping from the trim panels, upon closer inspection I noticed some water in the right tailgate light, left one has condensation.

I've read that it is a known issue - since my DS7 is a 2018 model and I purchased it second hand and therefore I am out of warranty - can this be solved by replacing a part of applying a fix?

Where exactly is the water getting in?

Thanks!

Hello. Mine is 2018 as well, and I did recall action 2 weeks ago (second hand as well). Just call ds service give them your reg and they will tell you what's what. Do not go to Ds Leicester... they are butchers... They scratch my tailgate replacing lamp, and they try to con me that my ds7 got oil leak.... not to mention that they broke some clips and forgot to put them back on...

Thanks for the heads-up - I had this done by an authorised dealership as part of the recall - I had no idea this was possible as I was not the original owner.
