I have recently had mine replaced as part of an insurance claim......took them ages...I mean weeks to obtain the correct part......they called it a 'scuttle panel'
anyway, mine was cracked too and an 'a' pillar shroud was replaced at the same time.
will keep an eye on mine.
btw colour matched sikaflex does a great job on any plastic cracks on the d2......use a well spiitted finger and light pressure to blend it in neatly.
My new one is still good. Last one I could almost fit my pinky finger behind it.

Check out when you open your bonet youll notice the bonet puts pressure on the plastic panel causing it to crack. Dont open it so far :-)

Had mine done at obriens at Sale, side trims survived but scuttle panel was cracked, the owner acknowledged fault, I wasnt really concerned till a week later and the panel has now cracked in the middle and lifted off the screen on the pass side.Quote:

One of its functions is to stop water/rain getting into the blower intake. If you know it's going to rain I'd be parking undercover.
Hit the re-circ button until you fix it if its raining.

Obriens are arranging to install another panel,,
though after all the bad reports on the new panels---:angrylock:

Are the replacements staying straight? I'm not keen to have go through this every 3 months.
Can i just ask, what is under this 'scuttle panel'? As the one on the Disco i just purchased has a crack straight down the middle and its been ****ing down with rain the last few days. Should i be concerned with how much water has entered into this space?
I'm just going to use black silicon to seal it up i think.
