Love the support guys, awaiting forum vendor approval to get things going here :)
 
Brilliant work, car was in for the door handle yesterday, just 2 years old and the membrane was trashed. They replaced it under warranty, must be costing them £££££`s
 
Having just fitted my 3rd membrane as more info on water intrusion surfaced, I agree the slots for locating the screen at base of windshield is a concern. I cut/installed membrane to slide up far enough to cover under the slots. Also used Flex tape putty to encircle each slot prior to replacing screen.
Still, the openings in the center mechanism for washers, closer stop etc a problem; each hole was plugged using medium dense foam, including around hoses/wires for washer nozzles.
After fitting plastic covers, areas of overlap which showed where water could enter was taped with Gorilla tape (including around cutout around fresh air intake before placing membrane).
And prior to placing membrane, I bagged/taped around each visible wire connector (some freely unplugged) securing with tie wraps-included the HVAC resistor unit.
I’m not sure what else can be done, other than never letting the car get wet.:rolleyes:

You've clearly done much work on this. Any chance of some photos so I can see all the extra stuff you've done above and beyond the membrane? Cheers
 
I should've taken pictures but my 2025 with build date of April 2025 also had long cracks and the membrane looked bunched up around the bars. But honestly, even my NSX had issues with rear coil packs failing from water draining into that area at the vent. And people have come up with solutions to divert and seal. Every platform has issues, but ingenious people seem to come up with great solutions too.

Sorry, I’m a bit of a Luddite when it comes to downloading/uploading/transferring pic between devices/apps, and according to my wife, quite singularly focused when undertaking a job so blundered through task without photos . Hope my reply above is understandable-again, my wife says I usually remember just enough to make my point confusing:oops:!
Next time front unbuttoned, I will do my best to photo document, and have a 9 yr old handle the device transmissions………...
 
Guess I now find myself in this thread as well. Depending on price to the USofA I'd be interested.
