Ok, I have a 99 series 2 with the dual sunroofs. The problem is the sunroof seals that come in contact with the glass are distorted and very loose. The water is leaking during heavy rain between the glass and the seal AND under the seal (where they mount in the assy) very very badly.

Here is where I need help:

The local dealer says the seals are NOT available without purchasing the entire sunroof assy, $800/ea!!!

Please tell me someone knows where to get just the needed seals?!

Thanks!

 

Try, http://www.roverlandparts.com/, they won't sell just the seals, but give them a call and see what they can do for you.

 

Ya, called them. No way to get parts for a sunroof, just buy the entire assy. Have done a little research on the other forums and web. ..

The glass seals are avail from a guy in UK.

I have found most cases show the exterior trim ring with age become twisted, warped and will not allow the glass of the sunroof to lay flat on the sunroof seal and also allow water to enter between the truck's roof and the trim ring. Another part not available unless you buy the entire assy.

I have pulled the headlinner out, loosened the drains from the sunroof to thouroghly clean them, and will look very closely for leaks.

Hope I do not need to remove the sunroofs and seal the area under the trim ring. My trim ring does not seem to effect the glass sealing on the seal. The seal just seems to have shrunk, pulled loose from the gutter, and will not properly resecure.

I will keep posting my efforts, if someone has more ideas, let me know. Thanks!

 

Is there no one in this world that has "fabbicated" their own seals yet? It's just rubber ain't it?

 

My Volvo did something similar, and I got a tube of the black windshield sealant and ran a small bead around the glass. Sealed it up great for 5 years. I pass by it every now and then (and cry) and it looks like it is still dry.

 

It may be of a bit of use to you, but my ebay shop sells sunroof seals for Disco 2s.

I am in the UK, but if you are in dire need, I can help out.

 

Parts,

Your store shows you have one seal in stock, can you get two of them? And any idea what USD for two shipped to zip code 97007?

Thanks,
David

 

Hey. Sorry, we needed to update the stock. We have more than enough to do 2 sunroofs

As for postal Prices to that ZIP, I'll find out for you and let you know ASAP.

Regards.
