Could anyone confirm my fears, been raining a bit on Skye today (what's new!) and water has been dripping off the rear view mirror and creating a puddle in the wee gear shift! The interior roof along the passenger side of the windscreen and off to the door is also sodden. Does this sound like the dreaded sunroof leaking or could it be the windscreen? I purposely haven't opened the electric sunroofs to avoid this problem since I bought the car back in September, we've had rain since then but to date only a few drips have dripped when I drive off, no wet roof.

Any thoughts - suggestions...

Thanks.

If it was stood still and dripping off the rear view mirror, I would say that you need to buy some low modulus silicone or sikaflex for the sun roofs
Buy a copy of LRO as they have covered it in an article, and / or search on here some one did a brilliant "how to " with pictures

I did mine this year and was not too bad a job, couple of hours, tops per roof, and if you're doing one you might as well do other whilst head lining is out

Just put mine back together at the weekend after sealing both roofs

the above link refers to a Disco with manual roofs - mine had electric and also vents for the rear A/C not much different just takes a little longer, I removed the headlining and cleaned it whilst it was off.
No more annoying drips
