What's wrong?
The panoramic sunroof side finisher trim on 2023-2026 Land Rover Range Rover and Range Rover Sport SUVs is the exterior strip that runs along the side of the roof glass. Its job is to cover and protect the roof edge while staying bonded to the body through rain, heat, washing, and highway airflow.
On affected SUVs, the trim was removed and refitted during quality rework at the assembly plant. The adhesive process used during that refit was not sufficient, so the trim is not secured as designed. Over time, airflow and vibration can loosen the piece until it partly separates or detaches from the vehicle.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner can notice loose roof-edge trim, lifting along the panoramic roof, or a missing side finisher only after the bond has already started to let go.
Who's affected?
Spans the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport across 2023-2026, with the same right-side roof finisher named across the scope.
