water leak - factory roof rack

Looks like the rear passenger "foot" of the MINI roof rack is leaking water into the interior of the car - footwells get soaked (rear - then water flows forward - I think).

Any one else have this problem or better yet a fix?

Will this be coverd under warrantee?

It's a 2009 cooper s - rack was installed by the dealer.

My understanding was that there are water channels underneath as the space in between the feet and roof are not completely sealed. Are the drains plugged or disconnected? Looking at mine there are tiny gaps that water could enter although I have no issues so far.

The rack has been on the car for over 3 yrs - no problem till now.

Not sure where the drain holes are...
