Latest little "bit of character" to deal with!

The front sunroof was sealed up when I bought it, but am I right in saying if there is a leak here in this pic then it's likely to be the rear ones seal?

That the most obvious thing to be causing it?

If the front sunroof is sealed and watertight then most likely it’s the rear sunroof seal that’s faulty, there are two so replace both although the whole sunroof cassette will have to be removed, so a bit of work to replace that seal.
Loads of info on the www concerning disco sunroof leaks
 
That looks like one of your rear sunroof drain tubes has snapped off. As with all cars fitted with factory sunroofs the sunroof seals are not 100% water tight and the sunroofs have a drain in each corner to drain off any water that bypasses the seals. Unfortunately on the Disco 2 these drain tubes are connected to the sunroof cassette by plastic adapters which have a habit of snapping off and are probably responsible for 90% of sunroof leaks on the D2. I glued my broken ones (1 on each sunroof) back on then fabricated an aluminium bracket which I glued over the top with PU sealant to support the repair and prevent a recurrence. I did this on all 8 drain tubes of the two sunroofs as preventative maintenance. Unfortunately you have to remove the entire headliner to repair these.
