2009 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Baltic Blue

Leak from interior light

Can you point me where to look and what to do to find where water is getting in above the head cloth or fitting.

I park my 2009 Defender outside my house and have started to see drips from the area of the interior light near the windscreen.

I am a bit hesitant to dive in until I have asked you Guys.

Thanks

Mine was leaking through the cross roof seam. Solved by running a bead of black sealant into the seam (black truck).

I'll second the point about condensation.

I have some 20/25mm thermal insulation on all of my roof panels - except the ribs in between, where the roof lining plugs go into. This morning I happened to notice a decent amount of condensation on those ribs alone! I guess it won't happen once the roof lining's back in - but it could definitely generate a lot of water.
