Mine did have. All repaired about 18 months ago under warranty when I had the windscreen seal replaced.

All looks OK now.

Check mine this morning [had dash apart for other reasons] Wink and it's all nice and clean/painted, no sign of rust, discolouration or water ingress.

One thing i did notice, mine seems to have a bead of silicon sealant smoothed over the foam seal on the interior side... must be original as ive had the motor from new and not had dash out before Question

Mine's one of the first of the bunch, perhaps they no longer do this?? Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant.

If it costs LR time and money... Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...
