godzilla84 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 It's more than likely the drain hoses, they sometimes come adrift. It's a bit of a headache fixing it because more often than not you need to remove the head lining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatt Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Strip the roof lining out, then remove the sunroof glass and clean the seals/ gutters/ drains etc, then remove the sunroof tray and that will release the plastic surround off the roof, clean the grease and grime off and re-seal (i used tiger seal). then its just a case of putting it all back together.

sharpy1980 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 as scatt says remove the lining and re seal the sunroofs but also take the plastic corners out off the gutter when you get it out and reseal them back in too. seals are still available but only for the disco 2 but they're the same anyway and are about £20 each.

In my own personal experience if the sunroof drains are still on the tray then leave them there! just blow them through with a air line or feed some wire down them if there really blocked. but its a simple job, its more time than anything else.

teabag Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Only two reasons for sunroofs to leak and both are seals, the so called drains are only there to take water 'run off' should there be water laying on top of the glass when the sunroof is opened, thats why they are only at the front of the sunroof.

That's exactly what I did but I fitted some hose (jubilee?) clips onto the drains to make sure they didn't come off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
