Nothing serious guys but there are two small things which Pilote Owners (MY16 onwards) should keep an eye on.
1. Firstly, there have been a few vans that I know about which have suffered from an ill fitting rubber seal around the hab door. This allows water to enter and collect in the hab door footwell during heavy rainfall. It will not damage the van due to the materials used in the construction but it will a.) stain your carpet and b.) indicate a high reading on any hab check. . In some cases the actual hab door will need to be adjusted by a couple of millimetres to help achieve a seal. I've heard about this issue on a P650GJ, P740C, P740GJ (my own van) and a Galaxy 7-series.
2. Secondly, keep an eye on the little rubber washers that are attached to the end of the internal catches which secure the garages. They can slip off by accident and if they do then the compression of the door seal on the frame will be lost and you'll get water ingress.
Just small points so nothing to worry about.
All the best,
Andrew
