TD5 Discovery Leak

[Geavesy]

Hi recently bought a dicovery TD5 es. After the rain we have had lately i have noticed the headlining around the windscreen is wet and also some dips coming from the electric sunroof buttons. Is this a common problem and how can i rectify it? Thanks in advance

Yes very common.

It could be leaky seal/frame or blocked drain tubes.

Or likely as not a combination of both.

Try a good Land Rover independent repair. I’ve had a main dealer try 3 times to fix my manual roof and it’s still not 100%.

You can get to the sunroof without removing the headlining. It is a bit of a pain but it is possible. Don't think that just because the rain is showing at the front, it is the front sunroof at fault.

The sunroof mechanism is held on with torx screws. Remove the sunroof and give the glides a good clean and regrease. clean the roof and apply a generous bead of sealant to the frame of the sunroof where it meets the roof of the vehicle. Tighten it all up and when the selant has cured, clean it off with a sharp knife.

, everyone told me to check the sunroof drains and the welded seams at the front end of the rain gutters for my Disco II's leak, but it turns out it's just the top of the windshield leaking.
