Default Leaking sunroof

Has anyone had any experience in repairing a leaky sunroof? My '96 Disco has 2 factory sunroofs (both electric) and the rear one is leaking. Any recommendations?

does it open and close? they are always electric. it can be a few things you need to see if the sunroof is still on rails and is closing properly, you need to check the drains there are two drains for each sunroof that can be accessed be removing the headliner.

Hi, Are you sure its your sunroof and not your roof bars. I had same problem and it turned out to be the foam around the roof bars.

Hey thanks for the advice. I spent a few minutes poking around and found the screws that hold the glass to the open/close mechanism were loose. This caused the glass to lose contact with the gasket when it was closed resulting in a leak. I tightened up the screws and ran a garden hose on it and it stayed dry. It still gets stuck in the fully open position but in February I'll leave it closed anyway.
