Leakage into vehicle at the “B” pillars both sides

#1 Post by Abouttime » Sun Jul 28, 2019 9:20 pm

Hi,

After a moderate to heavy rain I am seeing drip page coming through the seatbelt shoulder strap area. Any ideas? It just started about a month ago.

Thanks

I won’t even ask if this is a Disco.

Mine leaked from two spots. Removing the headliner isn’t too bad of a job and will/should result is some very easy diagnosis. I had a drain hose come off the rear sunroof as well as water penetrating through the driver side roof rail.

I think every Disco does it at some point. The sunroof seals fail. The drains become clogged with debris. Happy hunting

Good luck!

Hello Darwin

If it is a series truck, check the sills as the sealant dries out. If it is Range Rover or Discovery (or pretty much anything else "newish") and it has a sunroof check the drain lines as they get clogged with dirt, pine needles, etc. and allow the water to back-up into the roof and it then seeks out its own route to escape.

Good luck, Rob
