Well, starbike are returning me a new Luxos U. I will read the instructions more carefully.
Seems to me that mine got water in the front, not in the connector bit. I'm going to push a little dab of silicon grease into all the seams this time. And possibly fashion a little rubber roof for the spade connectors. Did this with my bro-in-law's cheapo one and it seems pretty cool, made of section of innertube stretched over the connector bay.
Meanwhile think I'll mount the Edelux on another bike.

Oh well it's good that they're hooking you up! Shame the old one was past it though.
My luxos got a smashed up in a crash recently but my cycling insurance is covering it so I need to get a new one installed too.
The weatherproofing mods sound great though, would you mind posting some pics when you're done?

I think it's cos the spade (?) connectors on the underside aren't sealed at all. I think it says specifically be careful when you wash the bike - guess they're thinking about hoses or whatever.
I've never had mine succumb to road spray at all, and I guess they're fairly well protected from above.
