Symptoms
Water dripping from the roof lining or rear vents, wet carpets, sagging or stained headlining.
The fix, step by step
- The outer plastic surround often leaks where it meets the metal roof; LandyZone's long-running guide says a bead of silicone around that joint can cure it.
- If not, drop the visors and headlining (crosshead and Torx T20 fixings), remove the sunroof frame, clean off old sealant, reseal the frame-to-roof seal and replace split drain tubes and cups.
- Check the roof-rail foam pads while the lining is out.
