Default 2015 L319 Water Ingress Advice Please

I have never worked on an LR4, in fact I try to steer clear of anything JLR. My methodology thus far is just a steep learning curve. I have the sunroof taped up and the left side of the screen as you can see in the images. Its been raining and there is water in the car again. Water does not get into the car from the centre of the dash so I have ruled out the air intakes for the HVAC etc. Water comes down the wiring loom as shown in my images. Quite how it gets to the door seal is another thing! Where the tape meets the grooves in the roof, they have been greased. Am I missing something obvious gents?

Thanks

Last night I left the vehicle with the left side of the screen taped up. This morning the car is full of water again. I have not fully taped up the windscreen from the sunroof to the scuttle. Thanks

The windscreen from the middle to the left side, all seams are taped. The sunroof is now taped as well. Car dried out again. Bring on the rain.

Admininstrator can I request this thread be moved to a more appropriate forum section as there appears to be no knowledge here. Thanks

Just thought i would close this thread by saying the car is fixed. Leaks were fixed from the N/S sunroof drain and the N/S/F door seal. The seal had been beaten on at some point by some turd. The seal was allowing water to travel from one side to the other internally. Now thats fixed the collapsed suspension needs fixing. Once that's done the owner is getting rid!
