Can somebody tell me whether water has ever leaked below the dashboard? Indeed, in the BCM region in particular? I was hoping someone could tell me if the windscreen, sunroof or some other common place is where it might leak. Best regards.

It seems like the only time someone has mentioned a leak on an Xtrail is when the sunroof drain gets clogged.

I noticed that there appears to be water on the right side of the glovebox, above the glovebox region. From what I can see, the sunroof leak usually travels from the left side of the dashboard into the footwell.

When I removed the pillar cover from my T31, the little hose that pushes on the sunroof drain leaked down the floor. Since then, I've had no problems with it because the hose is snugly put into its fitting. From the inside of the pillar, water usually runs into the dashboard.
