JimDay Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 As can be seen from the photo I have water leaking into both the rear corners of my Disco it is coming out of the box section above the rear quarter windows. Has anyone else had this problem if so how did you cure it. Thanks in advance for any help Jim Day Sorry should have said it's a Disco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrRob Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Does it have sunroofs? Might be them or the alpine windows in roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimDay Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Hi DrRob both Alpine windows are dry & it only has a sunroof at the front (non factory) the car is jacked up at the rear & on axle stands at the moment so water can not run up hill if the sunroof was letting in water. The water is definately coming out of the bottom of the box section above the windows. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teabag Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 It's not unknown for the gutters external sealing mastic to fail. I understand that this stuff works as a cure. http://www.captaintolley.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimDay Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Thanks 'Teabag' I will get some ordered up & see what happens have you tried it yourself or not. It's available in 60ml @£5.90 or 250ml @ £12.50 think I will go for the larger one as my son has a leaky sunroof on his Rover 200 so hopefully it will cure that also Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gutters have the cracks as they do but no water ingress as yet. touching a lump of wood. Other wise it's sit in the boot with your LED CSI torch and watch for the drips to appear again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimDay Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 Well I can confirm that "Captain Tolleys creeping crack sealer" does exactly what it says on the bottle. It's stopped the water getting into my Disco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teabag Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I may get some then as i have afew fine cracks in the gutter mastic, I have no leaks yet but no harm in preventive measures. Does the stuff have a short life once opened, it would be handy to have on the sheld for any other little jobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
