you can replace the gaskets where the roof bars attach to the roof.

Which model 5dr, 3dr
Remove the bolts and place a dab of the standard bathroom silicone sealant, on them. Not the super strong stuff, you'll wanna get them out again
Another wonderful design from LR

My 06 5 door was built without gaskets / sealant where the roof rails are mounted - fixed under warranty, after a couple of un-nessesary door seals :doh:

I had removed the two bolts and apply some normal silicone.Will just try this before changing the gaskets.My estima does not have this problem for 9 years now
Still leaking after apply the silicone.Guess I have to dismantle the entire roof rails and apply silicone on the mounting area

Did you put plenty round the threads and over the captive nut area.
Its the only area water can get in, unless it's a 3dr.

the gaskets do sod all, water is tracking
For the 3rd time........ 5dr or 3dr?

Did some search the only place water can enter is from the screw hole.So applying sealant should solve the problem.

I drove mine for the first time today,2 days parked up due to glassy ice on the road.
the drivers seat was wet and could see it was from the melted condensation from the sunroof,I thought this could be the cause of your problem too.

Mine does not have a sunroof.Each time it rains or after a car wash my left rear seat belts get wet.

do they look perished or deformed?
