I wonder if there's a trend with people who drive in the rain with a window cracked open? My car doesn't have this, but my windows never come down.
Seems improbable, by maybe water runs through enough on the gasket and gets into the roof liner. I can't explain the visors though. Has to be something with the windshield.. |

I think the odd part of this is that his car had been parked in a garage, in California, for 3 weeks.

Car is with the dealer. They suspect the plastic that covered the visors during shipping and pre-delivery may have caused the discoloration. They're ordering replacement visors. They don't see any evidence of water damage but my advisor will ask the tech if a water leak test needs to be performed.
Unrelated to the visors, but when driving this week, I noticed clunking when turning to almost full lock for parking. Service advised that there's a TSB out and will replace my front upper right strut mount...quick google brought me to this: https://www.ft86club.com/forums/show...&postcount=370. That shouldn't apply to my car but we'll see! Last edited by gcmak; 12-02-2020 at 06:49 PM. |

6 days later, I have not heard back from the dealer. I called before they closed last Friday, when my car was originally promised to be done, but my advisor left. Reception said they sent him a message, and also confirmed with another advisor that my car was not done.
I plan to follow up again tomorrow since it'll be a full week of my car in their possession with no updates. No news is good news? |

Dealer called. Got my car back. They strongly believe it to be a manufacturing defect in the visor in whatever it was coated with even before it was installed in the car; once exposed to the elements, it deteriorated. So not even the original theory of the plastic wrap causing the issue.
I have to go back when the passenger visor arrives. For some reasons it's weeks back ordered. They did replace my right front strut and strut mount and the popping noise is now gone. |
