So apparently parking my disco facing uphill is is a bad idea. It's my own fault in a way, I should.have realized the **** poor designed sunroof drains. Only on the forward edge of the drip pans.. basically facing up a hill means the pans fill up and the drip into the inside of the car. Wtf.. I'd like to beat the guy who said 2 drains are enough to death with teabags.

Rant over. Sorry. My soaked floor are nd I are just annoyed.

 

Yup, up or down hill for longe periods of time spells wetness in front seat area through sun roof.

 

With no way around it. So glad I found this out before I put the new headliner in.

Flat ground parking only for this rover.

 

My roof leaks all the time and I don't even have sunroofs!

 

Damn man... from where?

 

What if you close the sunroofs?
Mine never leaked when they were closed on a D1 and the D2

 

They where closed. The incline the disco was sitting on was great enough to prevent the drains from doing their jobs. Water would fill the drain pans. I know the drains aren't plugged. I poured coloured water through them... free flowing.

I also know the design could have benefitted greatly from having 4 drains per sunroof instead of 2. Yea I know.. more brittle LR plastic that is poorly glued to go wrong.

 

I suspect from the gutter drains in the A-pillars as well as from the roof rail mounting points. I'll know for sure when I rip out the headliner for its re-furb

 

yep, mine did the same. worse parking nose up, rather than nose down hill, but still leaked. some gorilla tape has been a temporary fix 'til I can get in there and do the proper repair.

 

If you want to fix your leaks permanently:

Tightly close the sunroof, and remove your headliner.

Fix the drain line nipples if they need it, and then remove the sunroof drain pan, and then the sunroof from the truck. Clean the roof where the sunroof flange rests against the roof, and also clean the flange. Scrape away what remains of the seal on the flange (it's probably nothing but powder by now).

Apply a liberal amount of clear RTV to the flange that rests against the roof, and a 1/4" bead at the inside edge of the flange that fits through the roof.

Reinstall the sunroof, and tighten all the drain pan screws to draw the flange tight against the roof. Wipe away any excess RTV that may have squeezed on to the roof of the truck.

Remove the glass (4 screws), and then the rubber seal that seals the glass against the sunroof frame. Clean the seal and the channel it lives in thoroughly, and then lay a bead of RTV in the channel, and then reinstall the seal. Clean away any excess RTV, reinstall the glass, and tighten the sunroof glass screws.

Let it sit and cure for 24 hours.

Enjoy your new leak free sunroof!

I did this to my DII a year ago after getting fed up with ruined mirrors, headliners, and sunroof motors, and it hasn't leaked a drop since then.
