Default OK, I've read post after post...I can't find the sunroof drains for anything!

Alright, I've got water coming in above the windshield corner on the passenger side. (I've attached some pictures for reference.) I've searched and read about clearing the sunroof drains, but I was up on top of my Disco today and I can't see anything that look like drains. The sunroof mechanism itself seems to take up all the room inside the tray.

I figure I've got to be missing something.

It rains too much in Texas to just let this go....

Please help!!!

Thanks.

Wiggle your roof rails and see if they are loose.
They have a seal around where they mate to the roof and if it comes loose it can leak into the cabin.

ive had the same problem, every spring i get the same leak, a buddy of mine sticks a wire hanger up from the bottom, get under the truck and find what looks like a drain, and put the hanger up a couple of inches. a lot of the times its from the the mud or such causing the blockage and then backing up the entire drain. i have an 03 too and he just cleared mine out last weekend. give that a shot.

A new headliner is $1000.
You can have yours recovered for a couple hundred.

So do these things have drains or not. Is there a walk through thread on this?

Two holes at the front of sunroof. The plastic connectors are hooked up to black hoseing. If you take down your headliner you will def see them.

So, it appears I'll need to pull down the headliner a bit to really see what's going on...

Spike - I'm guessing the headliner needs to come down some in order to get in there and tighten the roof rails???

The location of the leak has me a bit worried that it's the corner of the windshield that's leaking...any thoughts?

Thanks.
