I pulled back the rubber at each top corner of the windscreen and after cleaning the crud out discovered that each side had a small section of the roof skin (looks like a little tab) that was not sealed to the body section beneath and right beside the top of the A pillars. I liberally filled the void behind the rubber corner trims on each side with Sikaflex 227 and now await the next downpour.Attachment 150499Attachment 150500
Mine had leaks from there. Only takes a little pin hole for water to stream thru, showed on the roof lining at the A pillar junction as water marks, plus the wet carpet. I'll have to have a look at those bottom drains when it's on the hoist soon to do the gearbox. 16mm so far tonight so will be interesting to see if mines wet in the morning as well!
My D2 was exposed to torrential rain over a 24 hour period and there were no puddles in the footwell and no water trails or drips in the areas where they were evident before.Quote:

I saw exactly how that could happen a couple of days ago when it was raining heavily - there is an opening for water to leak directly into the A pillar through the check strap pivot bracket. Now that my A pillar drain is no longer blocked this leak water can now freely drain away and my problem has not returned.Quote:

Hi good people. I have had the same thing recently in torrential rain. Pic attached of blocked drain. I need to replace a broken A Pillar trim that is allowing significantly higher water ingress than the drain hole was designed to cope with. Will post this on the general D2 thread too for wider coverage. Thanks to the OP for the write up. Cheers https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ffb29c052f.jpg
