Default 2 problems from leaky sunroofs

First yes I saw all the sunroof threads but this one is regarding how to fix the issues that it effects.
1. I have water in the right side of my dashboard. I only hear it when I go up a steep hill at an angle. But I'd like it out before something gets fried.
2. My rearview mirror is still fully functional but it has that half haze look to it. I'm guessing from the water? Is there a fix or do I have to replace?

Just a guess but I bet the water in the "right side dash" is actually air bubbles or just the sound of coolant flowing through the heater core. Very common sound.

Is this the auto dimming mirror you have? if Yes ... they go bad after a while. The one on my '94 has the traditional black "ink" along the bottom edge of the mirror but no haze.

Yeah everyone pretty much has that rear view mirror issue. The question is just,whether its half empty or half full. Odds are thats not from your sun roofs, it's one of those awesome land rover features that everyone gets to enjoy.

+1 on the coolant noise, unless you're sure for some reason you have a leak.

Yes its auto dimming. When I hit the dimming button it lights green and both map lights work so its not water damaged, awesome. The plastic cover that goes over all the jazz under the passenger dash is missing which is probably why I can hear the coolant.

I can honestly say as a former Toyota man. You can't get answers this fast and easy on 4runners. You definetly can't get as detailed and as many diy tutorials on fixing 4runners. You certainly won't find 97 4runners with 160,000 miles, leather seats and a locking diff for $1500

Thats why disco's and specifically the guys on this forum are the best. I dont care how much work, money and busted knuckles my truck gets out of me, i love it,and when it's not spilling oil or antifreeze all over, i know it loves me too.
