Some oil from rear passenger side sun blind mechanism

Hi all,

I have some oil leaking from the rear passenger door sun blind mechanism. The oil forms at the base of the thin pillar, where the sun blind mechanism is housed.

I am buying my car later this month (currently on a lease) - so it is a long term ownership proposition for me.

The car will be at end of warranty in approximately 2 weeks.

Should I get this looked at before end of warranty, or not worry about this?

Or put in other words ... what would you do about this?

Thanks .. cheers ...

Go to your dealer. They will replace them. I had that same problem. I don't really know why it would leak but even though Id wipe it down, it would come back.

I had mine replaced as well. It was also on the passenger side.
