Default Leak Around Roof Rack

A found a small wet area at the headliner above my back driverside door. I sprayed the Disco with water and it appearss to be coming from where the roof rack attaches to the top. Is this common? Am I going to have to remove the headliner to fix it?

Ok..I found the article but my leak is at the back drivers side door. Went ahead and pulled the headliner out a few minutes ago. Going to remove the roof rack (it needs painting anyway) and try to reseal.

Ok..I did a quick pic to help someone else that may have the same problem down the road The headliner was slightly wet right above the back side door. I originaly sprayed the water hose at the safari window but determined it wasn't leaking. After removing the headliner I figured out that it was coming from where the roof rack bolts to the roof. I stuffed a paper towel around the nut..sprayed the roof with water and walla..the leak.
The section I labeled "water" was where the headliner was wet...the water just traveled down the channel.

Thats really strange that it comes in that easily. Do you have any ideas on how you're going to seal it?

I'm just going to remove it and clean it well where it seals before I put it back on. Probably apply a bit of silicone around the seal. Once its on I'll just test it again until its right. At least thats what I am hoping.
