Front Windscreen

[Big Fella Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Big Fella]

G'Day all,

I work in the Pilbra here in WA at an Iron Ore Mine. We received a few brand new Prado GX D4D a few weeks ago (with the wide wheels) and have just had a drive in it. After my drive I am glad I have bought one but a GXL update.

Here's the problem: it has got 12,500k's on the clock and there is a lot of dust ingress around the front windscreen trims on the inside. This to me says there seems to be some sort of a sealing issue here. The vehicle is kept very clean (mine managers ride) and even he seems to find it strange. Has anyone one else had similar issues with their windscreens?

Cheers

Big Fella

Hi Big Fella

I can't possibly see what difference an updated GXL model will make "if" this is a design fault. It sounds to me like the windscreen must have been replaced locally for it to leak dust. I have never come across something like that before.
