Well, over the last 36 hours, here in San Diego we got a late sping rain "event." Nothing like you folks in the South, but for us, at this time of year you would have thought so. I park my 2000 in the driveway on a modest incline. I have had issues with the sunroofs leaking in the past when I park in the driveway. Now, when it rains, I often back the truck into the driveway and park it nose down. Well last night, one of the kids parked the truck, nose up. Got in the truck this morning to go to work, backed it up and out of the passenger seatbelt pocket in the door pillar comes about two gallons of water. I look at the headliner and notice some dampness in a low spot on the passenger side of the cargo area. Nothing in the front. I pull down the road and come to a stop at the intersection, ready to make a right-hand turn. Mind you, I am in a suit with a shirt I just had laundered. Well, out of the driver's side seatbelt pocket in the driver's side door pillar comes about 15 gallons of water. It runs down the seatbelt and across my left shoulder and back. I just don't get these LR engineers. It rains virtually everyday in England and they can't design sunroof drains that work! By the way, the drains are clean and flow when the truck is on flat ground. Just one more reason I really love my Discoverys.......by the way our 2001 is still sitting in a shop in Utah waiting for a new engine, gotta love the engineering.

Other than the drains on the front of the sunroofs, is there any other way to keep water from settling in the sunroof frame and overflowing into the passenger compartment? Thanks, by the way, got a nice looking beige stain on the shirt all down the left shoulder, chest and back, nice look. Phil

2000 DII 135k miles, running well, except for the leaking sunroofs
2001 DII 92k miles, dead engine 10 miles after head gasket job, dropped liner and toasted oil pump

 

when it rains it pours.....

 

You crack me up phil.....You are making me feel better about my 2 POS....My daughters has the same problem with the sunroofs. i tore out the headliner and re sealed the drains and all was working fine in that order. But if you start or stop fast you get the same waterfall of water. I would suspect whoever signed off on that design had his *** attached to his brain...LR..."Lame and ridiculas" is more like it..what a bunch of F$ck wads is more like it.... I still have not put thee headliner back in her truck...i may never....

 

Phil, your description was priceless. I had a good laugh at your expense. lol

And van, it was probably the same engineer that thought it was a great idea to mount the coil pack directly behind the engine right up against the firewall.....or run an unserviceable drive shaft right up along side of a hot a$$ catalytic converter....

The coil pack placement never ceases to amaze me though....these engine compartment are HUGE. It might be the largest I have owned. I could hide 3 migits in there as long as they wore NASA suits....why did they have to put it back there? lol

 

I can fit 4 on viagra...

 

My front sunroof does not leak but my rear does. Already resealed the drain tubes. I now have a permanent fix, I got some asphalt silcone from Home Depot, sealed the entire opening of the rear sunroof, problem solved.
