98 Swimming Pool
Ok we got 3 days of rain on and off and I have TWO DOGS with VERY wet fur.
98 is the back cargo, windshield BOTH sides and Rear Sunroof SO FAR.
The 01 P38 is the drivers foot well, the center dome light and Sunroof.
Need BEST source for ALL seals for both have only found ONE so far that was right Cargo for the D1.
Options I know of are:
1. Dealer in Columbia SC
2. Rovers North
3. NY Rover
Tried ebay for a short time but no luck.
Thanks guys

As far as the sunroof leak, there are a couple of most likely candidates to check. First is the drain tube can either clog up, slip off or even crack. Second, the frames are four individual pieces that form a rectangle. At each corner they have butt joints that are siliconed. Mine have leaked there. You have to remove headliner to gain access to either cause.
I have seen the seals on some UK sites. They are very costly for the fitted ones. You may do well with buying rolls of the seal material itself. There is also a document detailing water ingress that I will attach for you and the others. Our friend Slang in PR originally posted it on here and it was so good, I saved it to my RAVE folder.

Water Ingress
Land Rover Discovery Water Ingress Manual
So you've got your Land Rover Discovery and you have found a water leak into the vehicle; Welcome to Land Rover Ownership!! Very soon after buying my Discovery, which is my first Land Rover, I was told that if it doesn't leak then its not a Land Rover.
After finding water in the rear loadspace I was more than a little annoyed that this expensive vehicle could be leaking. I posted a question to the LRE Forum and received many helpful replies which served to educate me that such faults are indeed just another part of the characteristics of Land Rover Ownership, something that I have come to accept.
It became apparent that every Discovery leaks from somewhere, it is just a question of in how many places!! Below are the LR 'fix sheets' for the water ingress into the Discovery. I followed the sheets and have cured the water ingress into the rear loadspace, which was the only problem area on my vehicle. I have since discovered a leak into the front passenger footwell, although only onto the mat and only when I wash the vehicle. Obviously that is my mistake; washing it!!
