Thread: What happened to your Discovery 2 today?

How does the water get from the alpine windows to the driver's footwell exactly? Ide be looking more at seal around your gutter and A pillar. I believe there was some sort of recall/bulletin for this area leaking into the cab

There was a fella on here recently who found it was leaking in there, running down inside of roof beam and into driver's footwell. I have looked at goo sealant in roof gutters and cleared tbe A Pillar drain hole. I cannot see any ingress points but any other info on possible specific areas of I ingress always welcome. Cheers

I'm only replying to this as ive had my roof lining out for the last week and there is a million places for that water to go before it gets anywhere near the A pillar. The only way i could imagine it gets that far is the vehicle is parked on a massive slope and facing down hill?

Do a quick google search on disco 2 gutter leak bulletin. I stumbled across it the other day. Again when my headliner was out because there was water stains on the top corner of it.

I've had that. Leaks via the alpine window, tracks to the front and drips from the head lining.

Ok so runs along the head liner? Damn, that's a long run. Would have to be parked on the right angle on the right slope during a pretty heavy rain ide imagine

I'm really not sure how it tracked to the front, but slight nose down or braking does it. The angle doesn't have to be anything special and the rain really doesn't have to be hard, there just needs to be water coming in. It really just does it by itself.

Damn, that sucks. Good call though

Was yours on the flat when leaking Simon? Mine is leaking on the flat. Did you get the windows re-bonded? Work out OK? Cheers
