Hi, i have the same problem and your fix of drilling appeals more than 450 inspection plus cost to repair - is there anything underneath i need to be aware of to avoid where i drill - out of interest where/how many times did you drill thanks

Hi NeilJ the good news is yes, i did manage to get it fixed - a bit unorthodox in how but lets just say i needed a new windscreen. The replacement was a like for like with the heating element and tinted visor with Lexus printed on it so assume it was an OEM part, since replacement i have had no return of a wet interior pillar. - you may get away with just removal and resealing but good chance it will break on removal -..................... luckily i had a large rock thrown up from following a lorry so needed a replacement that cost me my XS (£70 i think)

Hi Charlieboy3 - i took off my driverside roof rail and tapped the whole length of the rain gutter - this stopped the leak instantly, i then (a bit extreme) in the end i took out the headlining and the A frame pillar covers and saw water coming on from the top corner where the screen/body work meet - i believe the rubber bonding between the screen and the bodywork had come away/perished or something - this allowed moisture in initially, then over the years due movement, expansion/contraction the gap got larger and made the problem worse until such time it allowed water in. It got so bad the whole of the interior windscreen was wet or iced when very cold. i had the windscreen replaced today - so should be ok - finger crossed, time will tell

unfortunately i think that is the case - no drips today so i think i can rule out the windscreen (good news) looking like its the rain gulley where the roof rails sit - there must be a drain away somewhere that is blocked and the water is backing up and coming out form a place where it would not normally be. i am going to remove some silicon i have applied and take a visit to these people : https://cars.newagain.co.uk/car-water-leak.asp

Hi - do you have a picture of the rear suspension gas struts - interested to see how easy it is to replace them.

thanks, its definitely is not from the washer pipe - its from outside getting in - i have the pipe and the airbag curtain exposed. IMG_3409.MOVIMG_3409.MOV

Hi Charlieboy3, following various tests my current position is: i have the windscreen edge (left side, right side and across the top covered by 2" gaffer tape, the drivers side roof rail has been removed and the whole length of the rain gulley has been covered with 2" gaffer tape, the headlining has been removed - today i let loose with the hose and drenched the vehicle - the test will be tomorrow -if it drips i am at a loss where its it coming in, if it does not i will have narrowed the problem down to the roof rail/gulley - the next step will be to seal the gulley - will keep you posted.

windscreen has not been changed blocked drain - do you know where drain is located bad - seal - i assume you mean seal on windscreen gone ?

the cause of the leak or the purpose of the the tube ?

sorry again - nope, no sunroof

sorry forgot to add its on my RX450h 2010. right had drive

Firstly happy New year to all. secondly and thirdly: 2nd - found water mark on inside cover of A pillar ( see picture) - removed it but cannot see where it is coming from but can see wet right in the corner, suspected a leak from somewhere for a long time as inside of windscreen gets wet/icy very bad condensation in the winter - seems i now know why - anyone had leak from top of A frame or somewhere near that can advise how i can resolve it. ( apart from the obvious of getting the screen replaced) 3rd- when internal cover of A pillar removed, noticed a tube - curious to know what it is any ideas ?

Sorcerer - thank you for your logical explanation, thought i 'd put your theory to the test - put it in auto, to the footwells it went, decrease the temperature to 18 and it moved to footwell and face vents, went down further to 16.5 and it went to face vents only - took it right up to 28 and it moved to windscreen and footwell - bugger me, it and you are clever. Bottom line is there is no fault - if i want them to come out of the face vents when i first get in, i will have to move to as warmer climate Ian M - fluffy dice are a no go area - the wife's of course - got them from the Aerosmith Rock 'n' Roll ride in Disney about 14years ago - sorry not for sale ! Glover - i is jealous still would be interested if the default can be changed.
