Hi Everyone
Been 'pishin' down on Skye recently and unfortunately more water seems to be invading my driving space. I've read all of the threads on sorting out sunroofs (mines got electric ones as its an 04 Disco). And tried stage one of translucent bathroom mastic around the edge of each sunroof. Did this under a tarpauline as have no garage, in a gale! - not the most stress free exercise, was left with white lines around the edge and no change to the water coming in (so shall remove unsightly **** later). Yesterday I found drivers and passengers footwells soaking - crap!!!
I had a look this morning at both sunroofs, with the headlining still in place. Shining a torch around the front one everything looked bone dry. The rear one had a glistening line around the seal and the filth around the edges felt dampish. I am getting a wee puddle by the back door - passenger side of the boot but nothing to what's happening up front.
Up front, water runs down in three places vertically on the windscreen two left and one right of the rear view mirror. The rear view mirror drips constantly creating a wee pond in the 4whd drive gear shift. The top edge of the windscreen has water running along it. The headlining is only wet on the passenger side section facing forward for about 6", there's no water appearing along the passenger door section of the headlining. Lastly the footwells - the passenger side is soaking along the door edge - ingressing in by about 6'' all the way along under the dash. Drivers side footwell is nearly all wet with water oozing (when pressed) through a crack in the rubber centre section of the carpet.
That's it! Sorry to have taken so long but monies tight and DIY ability. I'm hoping it's a windscreen replacement instead of stage two on the sunroofs, or worse a hole in the drivers side floor.
At this rate I'll be building a garage - any thoughts gratefully received.
