Hi, we're having problems with a leaky roof on a 2000 TD5 disco,

after reading alot of threads and looking over the car its looking like the plastic box that clips into the metal drain channel coming from the drain tubes, this is all well but im not sure how easy it is to take down.... and put back up more importantly, the roof lining.

Any help with takign off and reattaching this would be gratefully recieved.

Cheers Dave.

Cheers battenberg, might be attaching new roof rails at the same time.... few years back a gurder from a petrol station fell on the roof, bars bent but took the brunt so the roof wasn't too damaged. never got round to replacing them becuase they just weren't being used!

The headlining only takes about half an hour to remove, but you will need a second person to give you a hand to remove it from inside the vehicle.
Just done a temporary repair on my sunroof. The passenger side drain pipe had broken away from the sunroof so just epoxy a peice of 8mm copper pipe in place aand slide the broken drain pipe over the copper pipe to hold in place until the summer,but I was now getting rain water down through the sunroof handle so I have silicon sealed around the plastic trim on the outside and so far has cured the leak. The rear sunroof is ok, but come the summer the whole lot will be removed and sealed with 3M 5200 marine silcon selant/adhesive to make it 100% water tight and new drain pipes made to fit as well. I also replaced the sunroof rubber seals which only took 30 minutes to do did not require to remove the sunroof glass as some owners have mentioned in previous posts.
It appears to be a common problem that sunroofs leak on Discoveries which is typical of Land Rover build quality and reliability.
