Gutters.. bit rubbish

Once upon time Land Rover had rain gutters that put the rain somewhere sensible rather then straight into the cab when you open the doors.

Anyone here come up with a modification to put things right?

Landy's have always leaked - and from the new reviews always will

Check from inside the top corners where the roof and windscreen pillars meet - there can often be big gaps - you may need to remove the door rubber slightly as well to see.

Dum dum or tiger seal will improve things for you

Or if water only comes in when you open the door, park on a slope

No no no, not the inner gutters, the outer gutters.. There must be some way to extend them over the windscreen.

Move to spain.

Yeah, that would work.

I've done a mod for this,


















park tother way round!!

Sorry

I park facing uphill when im at home now, then the rain leaks off the back, drivers footwell stays dry then too, and up wet though if I park facing downhill

Or fit bigger wheels on the front..

There must be something that will fit in the gutters some sort of L-shape.. something.

Oooooh ffs, turn your truck upside down.....then it wont leak, and you wont have to drive it and spend money on fixing it..win win

Is it possible to still get dum dum?

Both me and the guy next door both park facing up the drive so our landys don't leek,

You'll probably be surprised to know most of the water comes from the inner gutters.

I drilled a small hole thru the rear corner of the sides so it exits just below the outer gutter, not had a drop of water thru the front doors. Since I did this.

Pics??? He literally drilled though from the bottom back corner of the inner gutter, down at an angle so it comes out just below the outer gutter About a 5mm bit if I remember

Are you lot still talking about leaks inside the land rover??

Out of intrest why not just fill it with silicone to behind the door?

I was looking for a more elegant solution to be honest.

Quite an interesting thread, this one, since acquiring my 90, I have carried out a full seam and door rubbers check, using TIGER SEAL, and running seal along all roof seams, ( older type three bar roof on my 90 ), then all sides and rear seams, then all front bulkhead area seams. Note, this tiger seal is pretty good stuff.
after the above, I have found very minor spots of water sitting on drivers side inner door stay closer, this I have traced, and need a little more seal down front of door frame..

My main problem now is that I still have the very rear of inner gutters full of water after parking uphill,,, by carefully feeling along inner gutter, its dry until about 600mm from rear, ive even tried sealing the very narrow inner seal behind the main inner gutter.
Any of you fonts of all knowledge know where the fu, sorry, waters getting in please.
