Hi Guys, My sons first p&j seems to want to be a swimming pool at the moment, Ive checked the drain holes and pipes and they seem fine Ive also tightenen all bolts around roof as well as cleaned all seals but it appears to no avail. Apart from attacking the inside of the roof with sealent any other ideas?

Cheers

Cheers for the replies, It appears to be the outer frame which is leaking rather than the glass area so it looks like plenty of sealent needs applying !

Often the seal between the roof panel and the sunroof frame fails. The solution is to dismantle the inner and outer roof frames and reseat on silicone. Not a difficult job. The factory foam seal under the external frame is next to useless.
It was indeed this and after a couple of satisfying hours removing the roof lining and the whole sunroof unit I found the seal was completely perished. Replaced with a generous amount of silicone and it all went back together again no probs.

Passed the jetwash test and also all the rain we had last night...Well chuffed !
