I’m hoping this is a common problem with an easy fix?
If so I’d be grateful if someone enlightened me on how to evict the dead trespasser

Well so far 59 Macan enthusiasts have not been able to help me

Which is a shame as I have the same issue on the other side too.

Rubbish photo of spider, in case you wondered

I hadn’t considered that they may have drowned

I have one in each side and a vague recollection that I've seen it in here somewhere that it's a job for an OPC. It's just not enough to make me go through that inconvenience though.

This is a shame. I have a small dead spider in mine and had been wondering how it got there and how I’d get it out!

Perhaps someone put the Spider in to catch a fly. You know the next move :roll: I have tiny organisms in y computer screen, like animated commas. The Farmer has some Rapeseed in the field at the back and when the wind blows from the North, we get covered in the little blighters.

I’ve a dead spider in mine, tried a hairdryer to blow it out but didn’t work but on the plus side the spider does look a lot better with the blow dry. 😁

I bought my car new in January 2019, in July 2019 I noticed bugs in both lamps and I contacted the OPC. At first they refused warranty so I wrote to the dealer principal and they did a 100% turnaround and agreed that as the lamps are sealed this must have been from the build. Both rear lamps were replaced under warranty.

In order to do this the full rear bumper has to be removed!!!!

I have a collection. It started with one soon after I hot the car but has now increased, so they haven't all been "built" in there! I asked last week when it went in for its 20K Service if they could be removed (having previously read the above posts) unsolicited, I was informed by the Service Rep that new lights have been ordered under warranty.
