Water leak issues

My 2011 clubman s leaked water from the drivers side window,anyone else have this problem? My dealership says its from the frameless window and I tell him for 30grand nothing should leak into this car. They have had it numerous time changed door seal adjusted glass, even used the sunroof drain hole excuse , thst it was clogged, soaking my headliner while pouring water thru open sunroof.. So between hurricane sandy and today's nor easter I have a wet drivers side interior door panel.. Any one else have issues with this?

sounds like the dealer you visit for your repairs & service are a bunch of morons...

its a relatively simple fix which consists of adjusting the glass position as well as pitch of the glass/window, coupled with some nice dry silicone along the weather stripping where the widow/glass meet each other. it is known that sometimes from the factory they don't get one or the other or allot of times both (glass position & pitch) right and they have to be adjusted. dare i ask what dealer you visit for service?

The guys at INSKIP have a pretty good reputation....bet you just had a jerk for a SA....
Just ask them to readjust the window..it is leaking...and fix the damage from the leak. Very simple.

Mini itself has left a bad taste in my mouth not the people...
