its doing my head in now...just can not find were its coming from :(

someone must have sorted this out before :look:


i had the same problem but on drivers side never looked for a cause but ive had a new screen and never had it since

surely can only either be

windscreen seal
sunroof seal/blocked drain
door seal (damp spreading up piller)
roof runners rotten

cannot think of what else it could be


i can only think its the windscreen?

so could i ask a local windscreen place to re-bond my windscreen and will this resolve my problem? and get a new seal? the sunroof drains are ok i poked a welding rod down them they are not blocked?

it could only be the windscreen as this is obv the only thing i couldnt fix as i havnt got the tools :look:

Pull the roof rail off starting at the back, taking care not to bend it.

Check for corrosion on the roof seem where it meets the pillar and the windscreen.

Might be worth doing as above if you cant find nothing there, get the pillar trim down at least, maybe the headlining at worse.

how do i get to the sun roof drains?

Just get your fingers under them and pull them off.
