car and said the territory the data was caused by water ingress the inspector found that all four of the sunroof strain tubes were performing slowly due to partial packages the insulators internal assessor sg reviewed the inspectors report and said the pipe should be cleaned annually to avoid such blockage sd deemed wear and tear to pick the cause of the damage a second internal assessor explained that the sunroof gases are similar to a cutter by directing water toward the drain pipes the ancestor note that the drain pipes attract us caprice dirt and lg and must be maintained to avoid damage the australian financial complaints authority or ifca note that both experts did not inspect the vehicle but rather interpreted their finding from the inspector’s report the ruling agreed with the expert assessment that the problem was touched by the vehicle’s inability to cope with the water funneling through the drain pipes however ifca disputed that claims policy did not cover the damage ifca say the policy covered acid under damage caused by natural events pointing to the confirmed heavy rainfall that occurred before the vehicle
