S6 / E6 owners:. Condensation leak?

[Tony P in Florida]

I made a warranty claim with Weber today. I noticed that the stainless steel cap on the lid did not appear to be fully seated to the lid? So when I would lift the lid, condensation would leak out of the cap and down the back of the lid.

Curious if anyone else has this issue? Pics attached.

The image with the long bead of liquid is with the lid in the open position. It's not coming from the open vent. Definitely coming from the cap Gap.

Have not experienced that. Weber should resolve this for you.

Can’t say I’ve had or seen this issue with my E6. Hope it all works out for you.

Received the response from weber. It appears that the damper assembly was damaged in their estimation. They are shipping a new part. Naturally, it is covered under warranty.

interesting - I have a similar issue on mine. It dripped down the lid from the lid damper overnight without anybody lifting or messing with it. This was my first cook, so maybe it'd close up with gunk over time. Either way, Weber is sending me a new lid because the first one was damaged. Will check the new one also to see if it does it.

Interestingly, the thermometer also leaked condensation on the outside of the lid
