With all the rain we've been having i have noticed water dripping out of my interior light. Has anyone else had this problem. I am presuming it maybe coming through the aerial base? Any ideas would be appreciated

probably the aerial gasket or..if a sunroof is fitted, blocked drain tubes or worn/damaged seal between the sunroof mechanism and the body.

I had the same thing when I first bought my Freelander and it was from the aerial. I used a small blob of clear bathroom sealant under the aerial and it has been water tight ever since.
