Just noticed that leaking lubricant at the base of the manual sunshade on the rear 3/4 window.
Anyone has experienced this. I've been just wiping it off. Should I bring it into the dealer to have it checked out?

My rear DS one keeps leaking. I'm waiting for the oil to run out (old Land Rover trick). The PS one is fine. Never had this on either E39 or E53's sun shades. If it keeps happening on the next dealer visit I'll have them look into it.
