    Leak in Front Corners of Headliner

    Hey guys, picked up my new to me D2a a week ago and in classic Melbourne fashion it rained all week and Only while driving I noticed that I had wet corners of the neadliners near the sunvisors

    It also happened when I went to wash the car. Now I've Duct Taped the sunroofs to rule them out and that hasnt leaked, The other two things could be (as far as I know) the winds seal and the rook rack mounts

    Roof rack mounts seem good and are tight as. And i Also noticed that the wetness seems worse underbraking so i suspect that water is travelling down the gutters into where the windscreen corners are.

    If I'm right then two things i could do. Get windscreen replaced and get that top finisher and seals and such and see if that fixes it(expensive) or pump it full of roof and gutter black silicone and fingers crossed hope for the best and if it still leaks then go and get it fixed properly


    Thoughts?
