Hi,

I have a 91 RR classic .

last week it raining terribly her , Holland, and my wife noticed water
coming iN from the roof, and leaking along the rearview mirror
I suppose it is the edge of the open roof that is overflown with water that
is to much for normal draining through side of roof. Both tubes in A pillar
are functioning normally with a normal amount of water.Is this a common
problem, is there a tric to solve it, do i just need to renew the "border"of
the open roof, or just accept it???

See recent thread here titled Re: Range Rover Classic Questions

It might just be loose screws.

happened to me it was just muck accumulating in the pipe ( moss around the
emtry hole mainly) cured by pushing a length of nylon strimmer wire through
followed by a very good squirting of water and further attention each time
she was washed to ensure no bit of detritus were hiding in the unit..

drill a hole in the floor (though there should already be some
somewhere! ) and accept it!

Oven cleaner has been recommended in the past to help unmung the drains.
