This doesn't seem to be a common fault but am running out of ideas so thinking of running sealant along all the seams on the guttering..

Have fully sealed both alpine windows and sunroofs to find the discos still frickin leaking!!

Finally traced it back to the box section/beam which runs across the n/s length of the motor just below the guttering. There's no sign of water along the top of this but it must be getting in there somewhere!
Can't see anything obvious from the outside have also sealed where the gutter meets the plastic trim on windscreen/front pillar.
I'm now guessing that the water is getting into this beam from outside guttering and running down to the rear corner, has anyone else found this?
Any pointers appreciated..

This is a great help, thanks MHM! :D:D:D

It's still looking like the waters coming in from the gutter but I never thought of 'daming' various areas to find exactly where its coming from..
 
Sortid!! And now it seems so blindingly obvious.
The leak was coming from n/side rear roof rail mount, although it wasn't very noticable the water was running across the top of the beam that runs from front to back of the disco.
Hopefully this might save someone else some time!!
