Perished rubber sealing on sunroof
I have a 2017 XC90 T8. I took in in to be serviced and told them that the rubber sealing around the sunroof was perishing. I was told it was mice! Has anyone else had this issue? See attached images....... The same thing is happening to the rubber catch on the electrical recharge point.
I will go to the motor ombudsmen but wanted to check her first. Thank you. |

If it was simply disintegrating on its own - it would be widespread - and honestly, I've never seen anything like this. To me - it looks like it's been eaten.

indeed , never seen anything like that , it's local damage . and this would not degrade in 3 years .. I have seen the damage mice CAN do however ! mainly under the bonnet and inside the car.

Might be birds pecking away at it, crow's, jackdaw's or magpie's, I have seen crow's pecking at cars before. Or even Squirrels. I doubt it is mice on the roof. It has been got at by something.

Unusual damage i guess it is a rodent or bird of some sorts? I had an Alfa 166 2000 reg and had bought 200 ciggies in duty free for a friend and i left them in the glove box. The day we were meeting to hand over the ciggies i opened the glove box and found mice had eaten into the boxes and used the filter cotton as bedding! I live in a fairly rural area however I was shocked to see that mice could get into the car! Does not say much for Italian build quality still loved the 3 litre Busso engine lot's of fun. Hope the cost is not too heavy looks like a new seal/ gasket
