water leakage
'04 Disco II
Theceiling linerabove the passenger side windshield post is getting wet during significant rains. I checked the drip rail and molding and they seem fine, but it sure does look like a poorly fitted system and I can see why it would leak. Anyone have this problem? Under warranty, but I really don't want to take it in for this - on the other hand a moldy lining doesn't thrill me either. Let me know if anyone has used an extra piece of molding or caulking to remedy this. Thanks.

RE: water leakage
It might be the sunroof or poor seal on the windshield.
This is something you want to be sure is properly address when it's found and fixed. In addition to the obvious headliner issues, leaks in the sunroof and windshield seals can lead to rusting on the downslope of the roof (just over the windshield). This can be happening even when there's no water making it's way to the inside of the vehicle.

RE: water leakage
I just had the SAME issue as jdelp.
My leak was coming from the driver's side windshield post. It was getting wet at that area of the headliner.(duringheavy rains) I was very reluctant to take it in as well to the dealer (eventhough my Disco is still under warranty). I did anyway.
The techs determined it was a bad seal on windshield- right there at the corner of the top winshield....basically the windshield company (that the Land Rover dealership works with) had it "caulked" w/some kind of black winshield caulking sealant. It took a day to work on the disco as it needed to stay inside while it was being dried.
Ironically the day after I picked it up, it started to rain heavily....but the problem was fixed and no more leakage.

RE: water leakage
If you accelerate do you get any coming in the back end of the headliner? My problem was the sunroof was not sealed properly, had to re-seal it, figuring it out was hell though because the dealer could not make it leak... the reason, the drains are on the front edge of the sunroof not on the various sides (I'm going to fix this on mine by adding some) and the sun-blind attachment points are only half-way up the tray and need to be siliconed closed or if you park on any kind of backward incline the leak goes out those openings rather than out the drain tubes. Bad design.
