Ouch! Is that a ridge tile? Just the windscreen and hopefully no bodywork/paint damage?

You must have had a fit. I would have gone absolutely mental.

I think it will be fine: it is just a small car inside (though doesn't feel it) and is prone to condense when there is a sudden drop in temperature. Mine has done it and I haven't found a leak - but if you do you have a good Toyota warranty to fall back on. I had to have a headlamp changed due to condensation - this was done FOC with no quibble and in fact, after testing, they replaced both headlamp units for me (I had only asked for one) so very happy.

I think it may be when one is exiting the car that water drips can go unnoticed and leave water marks on the fabric

Yes it is the same with the Avensis but I have never had enough ingress to get the seat wet enough to cause staining, it's usually just a few drops which are easily brushed off with the hand.

Blimey Pete, how many bike tyres did you go through in an 80,000 miles ride??? :D: Just about to resurrect my bike from the garage now the lighter nights are here, Kelsall hill is a burger of a climb
