leak from front headlining
ok, so it's nothing new that its leaking, but yesterday it rained during the day.
Went to take dvd's back to blockbuster and after 5 minutes there water dripping off the headlining on the drivers side right next to the window onto my leg and down the window making a lovely mess Evil or Very Mad . any ideas as to where its coming from? it's right where theres a grommet holding the headliner up? don't really wanna start taking the liner down...

Join in the roof between the flat bit and the sloping bit above the cab?

you need a copy of the "water ingress manual" - do a search ... your troubles have just begun ...

take your time, find the leak and fix it properly .. usually water gets into the inner drip rail and ends up on your lap ... known problem, and can be fixed

top 3 places

1. around windscreen (at the top)
2. alpine lights
3. front end of gutter where the roof meets the pillar

good luck

It's why a lot of Land Rover drivers wear wax jackets !

thankyou
the manual makes for interesting reading, i've already plugged numerous leaks with dum dum, even found the large grommet on passenger side footwell was never fitted.
