pinny Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 i have water coming in it appears to be coming between the point where the roof is fixed to the sides at the same level as the gutter if i dried it all probably silicone would seal it it appears to get in where the original sealer has become wet cracked it is probably wicking water through the seal any suggestions other than silicone or a good coat of chlorinated rubber 2 pack paint which is high build so i could put plrnty on any suggestions cheers chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtdog Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I have the same problem with my roof I used silicone it worked for while but the leak is back. I talked to the machanic at my local garage and the roof bars needed tightening up but this mean the roof lining needs to be removed to do it.

300bhp/ton Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 If you off road or drive hard on the road then I can see the body moving moving about a bit and would possibly in time break any silicon seal. Where abouts along the roof is it leaking? I know a lot of the guys in the States complain about Discovery's leaking around the rear alpine windows.

Since then we`ve not had to keep an umbrella in the car . Foxminer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
