Water dripping from interior light. What have I bought, a 4x4 or a sieve.

Wife came home from work to-day, and informed me we have water dripping from the front interior light, it was raining quite hard at the time.

I feel like a real Disco owner now as I believe this is a regular thing.

Would I be correct in thinking it's getting through the front sun roof, then running down to the top of the windscreen, then out of the light.

yep your right well nearly, the sunroof frame wants taking apart, clean it all and re seal to the car, that is the problem, most think it is the rubber, 99% of the time it is the frame, do both whilst you are doing it, also the roof bars then your sorted,
ps hows your remap? just bought myself a forge intercooler, my christmas treat to mesell!

Thanks for the reply's guys.

As for the re-map, a brilliant job done by Dynachip (Mike). Motor picks up from low revs much much better now. It's like driving a different motor to be honest. I cannot recommend Mike enough by the way, arrived almost to the second, and did a wonderful job.

I had the same issue just after buying mine.

Bought in nice weather and I spotted some bubbling up along the top of the windscreen. Pulled rubber away and sanded down to metal before blathereing in rust converter and zinc primer.

Leaked from interior light when it next rained as rubber did not sit down so well.

Decided to live with it until weather improved enough to paint and laquer, then use a bit of silicone sealant.

Weather didn't improve, but problem disappeared over the next few weeks as winscreen rubber settled down further.

Nowt coming in at all at present and we have had really nasty weather these past few weeks.

So a good idea to just check that area before starting on the sunroof.
