water coming out of the front interior roof lights!
Reversed the D3 off the drive today after v heavy rain last night. Imagine my surprise when I pulled forward and rain water came down through the roof panel!!
Pulled the switch / light panel down and it's a bit damp in there, but nothing too serious. Think it came out of the small black light as it's the lowest point in that panel.
I also think the rain water may have pooled above as I have a ProSpeed roof rack, which has a rubber seal around the leading edges which would have trapped the water on the roof.
Am I to presume that the issue is with the sunroof seal??
if so - how much of a job is it to replace one? or are there any known 'workarounds'?!
It will be the drains from the sun roof that are blocked, they run down each pillar in to the inner wing and drian out under there. Its a common fault, do a search on the board loads of posts, get some strimmer cable and try to unblock them.

Hi
I would take a look at the sunroof drain tubes before you do anything else, quite an easy job to check and there is a very good how to on here, look into the search function.

thanks - I have some strimmer cable for that exact job!
Will have a look, presume you can see to access them when the sunroof is open?formerly Disco3Ben

Think I was a bit too slow typing.
