Default Great, another random leak

Alright, so I've found another leak from some sort of ingress I suppose.

This only leaks when on the incline, rear facing downhill. It's winter time, no A/C. As you can see, it's just random dripping water coming out of the door finishers things. Any thoughts?

My best guess is a leak through A-pillar that is collecting in there, then leaks on an incline.

Sunroof drains, and we have had guys with small cracks around the roof "gutter", which could be resealed with something like the windshield RTV, which is super thin to get into little cracks.

When I read the title, I just laughed...

I've had damn near every leak in the book, sunroof, engine oil, coolant, PS fluid, brake fluid and gear oil. No tran fluid.....yet . I guess those Brits had their teeth in mind when making these trucks.

I was told by an older Navy Warrant Officer who had English Motorcyles that if you compare England to the US, you will note there are no superhighways in England, nobody commeutes vast distances to work like we do. Everything is fairly close together not spread out like the US. Some people never get 50 miles outside of the village where they live. How many of us can say that? How many of us live in small villages?

We drive a car hundreds of thousands of miles in it's lifetime. Some English vehicles don't see more than a few thousand miles in several years while we may put 30,000 or more a year on one.

It is any wonder they are significantly different?

M1. M25. M4 if I recall correctly. UK is like everywhere else for a long time. Plenty of driving on highways, up and down the country from Bournemouth to Scotland, Lands End to Calais (France). True there is a village mentality outside of London but that's no excuse for an international truck builder. They are polar opposites of the Germans and both brits and germans will agree to that. From Aston Martin to Bentley to LR to Jags....great engineering ideas, lots of old technologies (Buick?), really nice craftsmanship on many pieces..complete neglect on others. Someone said they employ trainees to do all the other bits not system critical (sunroof drains, interiors, etc.). You either like LR's or you like Kia's. To each there own.

....and a Triumph (bike), Norton or BSA would look great in my driveway. Those are classics.

In England they are called "motorways", and are divided just like our "interstates", and yes, people do get speeding tickets. As for variety, I have an F250, a Mercedes 300TE wagon, a D1, and KIA Sedona (210K). So I have become a multilingual complainer. They each have their own quirks that show up with age. So did my Audi 5000, Mitsubishi Montero Sport, Isuzu Trooper, and multiple minivans. Drive anything long enough and you will discover "value engineering" (cost cutting design), and what scheduled maintenance items should have been done with more frequency. Rant over.

....pa-lease. you call that a rant? i'm not even sure if I annoyed you or not.

had kia on my mind....don't know why...but now i remember. no disrespect Sava. point was really that people like different vehicles for different reasons...kinda like you say.

by the way. i was pan-UK sales for three years. drove on the wrong side of the road and wrong side of the car like I stole it. also had the Ducati there, a peugeot, audi and opium..or opus or something like that.
