Today i did some cleaning maintenance on the Sky.  
Then I noticed something on my solar panel.  
I don’t know how watertight the battery compartment is of solar panel, but there was water leaking out on the side.

You can see there is a little space between the plastic and the rubber sealing.  
That was exactly the place where water was leaking out of it.  
Also there was a lot of rainwater comming out between the Sky unit and solar panel itself.

We had quite a summerstorm yesterday with some showers. So the wind was blowing the water on it more than normal.

Should I contact WF for it?

Everything still works fine.

leaking out of it would be ok, but how did it get in?  
(just joking, I would definitely contact support)
