Had my headlining out for ages and now determined to sort this leak

I think its actually coming in via the roof bars

Are they simple to remove?

Are there gaskets I would need to replace and can they be bought still?

I do get water drip from the windscreen too, above it but could that be water running along the roof from the roof bars?

Thank you

1. Yes unless the screw fixings are rusted, then there could be a problem.
2. Yes I've seen seals on eBay, but you can make your own or use a sealant.
3. Yes could be, as I'm sure u know water finds its own route, next time it rains have a look, simples.

Thank you

Will it be obvious where to apply sealant once they are off?

As Henry Cooper used to say, "Splash it on all over!"
You can always clean the excess off afterwards!

If they're never coming off again, silkaflex is what they use on motorhomes for vents and windows etc, otherwise a decent mastic. Both will make your bolt holes water tight
