bobt Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 did the leak start after the new screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosd Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Check the corner of the gutter rails. There is an end cap which comes off, inspect the paint over the weld carefully. Even the tiniest of cracks could cause the symptoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andypaint Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Possibly blocked drainage at bottom of windscreen bulkhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobt Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 or the scuttle in front of the screen, if left damaged they can rot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clooney Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Try getting some one to sit inside with a torch while u pour water over the front of the roof and top of the windscreen all the way down the screen pillars to the scuttle , do this slowly with a hose pipe on very low pressure or a wartering can with the sprinkler end taken off , hope this helps pin point the leak .

gazbev Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Buy a goldfish, my mate has a 2004 and if it has been raining when he goes downhill he grabs apiece of rag which he has in the front and mops up the water that runs over his head and shirt from the headlining lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryman Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 It could be leaking through the bulkhead and running under the dash on to the floor, Land Rovers leak, water on the inside and oil on the out. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
