Strange leak
Okay, rained today and with the first corner I got water dripping through the seatbelt opening on the B pillar. Looked at the other (driver's side) seatbelt and saw some moisture there as well. No water coming from the headliner at all anywhere. I would assume that if it was leaking from the sunroof drains onto the headliner it would drip out all over.
My truck has zero rust and the rain gutters look okay. Thoughts?

look outside of your truck where the drip rails are, if you see any cracks in the sealent, scrape off the old and add some new.if that isnt it see if your roof rack rails are loose, water could be getting in from there, I do dought it but worth looking.Also clean out your sunroof rails too.It dosnt take much for water to travel.

The headliner is fiberglass and is generally waterproof, my 2000 leaks at the rear sunroof, but only if I am parked "uphill." The adventure starts when I drive down the road, downhill and make a turn, the water comes gushing out of the seat belt access on the b-pillar. Got completely soaked with on the way to court one morning. I am not sure if replacing the rubber gasket around the rear sunroof would help, I alway park downhill now if there is rain in the forecast....phil

There's a TSB on the windscreen leakage issue, I've tried to upload it.. hope it works.
I'm going to have to pick at Land Rover on the sunroof drain design. Not so much the drains themselves as the drain pan assembly. The "drain pan" is the metal bit that also contains the sunroof shades. Two of the corners are cut out of the pan then plastic boxes with the drain tubes are then attached... with silicone. No mechanical fasteners just plastic boxes with silicone. Generally this is where the issue is as the boxes separate from the pan or the silicone separates. Drop the headliner and inspect the corners re-silicone the crap out of them and you should be good to go. Really silly and fragile design in my opinion.
