I have a Vouge se 6 months old with sliding panoramic roof. The ends of the side seals on the roof look to have been eaten away about 25mm Long only on the off side seal. Also the center seal where the glass panel meet the same in the center. Anyone else had this problem?. Range Rover dealer suggest vandalism by birds and do not consider it a warranty fault. £450 to replace.

I gotta say that is a new excuse for a dealer. I have never heard of any roof seals on any make of car being eaten by birds.

Now soy based electrical insulation being eaten by rodents is a real thing.

I don't know about your market, but in North America, there are two technical bulletins that seem like they could encompass your issue:

LTB00891NAS2 "Roof Opening Panel Rear Glass Seal Loose"
LTB00861NAS2 "Roof Moulding Loose / Adrift"

I'd have your dealership cross-reference those if possible to see if a correlated technical bulletin applies to your situation.
