I know the earlier topic"Dyson V12 Detect Slim Warranty - Cyclone Rubber Sealant" is closed but strangely so dyson has not bothered to note and rectify the issue. I am having the same problem with my 5+ month old V12,S and it is disgraceful to see such poor quality standards followed for such a high priced product. It is truly disappointing to own a Dyson these days.
