Just like my old Defender!
l wonder if this was a deliberate design feature !!

After rain, if l get into my new Defender and open the drivers window a little, which l do in Summer, when l drive off l get a load of water down the inside of the door.

Let's hope the electric mirror and window switches are water resistant

I think that Tim in Scotland had the same issue a couple of years ago.

Hopefully he will see this and confirm what happened.

A few spiders, a leaky footwell and an untraceable rattle, and then you’ll feel right at home. WARNING.

If it help, I don’t have this issue so it’s not normal like the old one! Should be fixed under warranty.
