Water ingress
Hi all, had my D2 out in the rain for the first time in my ownership and we’ve got some water coming in! There are 3 main places of concern:
1) The center of the windshield where the dash meets it, I could feel air blowing through and know that the windshield install is shoddy.
2) Water was dripping down in the passenger B pillar and running down the seatbelt on to my wife (not endearing her to the Land Rover...)
3) Way back in the headliner on the passenger side above the rear storage box
On the outside of the truck at the top of the passenger side of the windshield I can clearly see how water would be able to get inside and I’ve been educating myself on how to fix that. Any ideas you have have to add would be welcome, however my main concern is the water in the back, anyone ever experience that? Could the water be coming in and making it all the way back?

The leak in the rear is almost certainly your alpine windows, btw.

My Alpine window was leaking on one side. I resealed them and no leaks since then.
I had my headliner redone and as a part of that sealed the sunroofs from the outside and unplugged the switches.
We have had some pretty heavy rain lately and no water that I've notice making its way in.

I was up on a ladder so I could get a clear look at the alpine windows and and sunroofs. I can see some small but very clear gaps. I’ve made the decision to reseal the alpine window and to seal up the sunroof and remove the fuse, the front, leaking one doesn’t open anyway- motor is probably shot. The truck lives outside and the rainy season is very much on its way here is western Washington so I’m making it a priority.
I started the job today, not going to lie, it doesn’t look spectacular but I think it will get the job done. Ultimately between the roof top tent, rack, and vehicle height very few people are ever going to see it so I’m ok with it.
