Thread: water leak above driver's head.....

Probabily it is the drainig tube of A/C ??

naw, I don't think so - this is above my head in the top corner of the head lining on driver's side - don't think there would be a a/c drain there???

Yes, I would think that there is a chance of rust over a period of time if the moisture continues....the roof turret and doors are steel.

Certainly sounds like the guttering needs a good look at, also the windscreen seals.

A friend had something similar on his but it was passenger side..About 50-60mm in from the corner was a gap that seemed to be letting in the water.

He just filled it with silicoln and hasn't had any prob's since, dont know if it was the same on Drivers side...


Hope this helps,

Cheers Ean

Had similar a while back. Wacked some silicone into the top corners of the windscreen. Fixed.

had a similar problem, only when parked on a downhill slope, nose first. took ages to find out it was the rubber grommet at the back of the right hand factory roof bar that was leaking and the water was sitting on the fibreglass roof lining and trickling down the front corner when facing downhill. loosened off bolt and silicon in the hole and no more leaks.

It will be in the top corner of the windscreen where the steel folds together. it must of been a problem with 2003 Discos i have fixed heaps of them, silicone it up. use neutral cure

I've just bought a '99 Disco 2. When I washed it I found a similar problem with the roof lining getting wet in the front corners. The roof lining is coming out to be re-upholstered and the roof needs a coat of paint so I thought it would be wise to replace the windscreen and solve the leak at the same time.
Had the glass guys come out today to do the windscreen but they had to stop when they found this!





There was no sign of rust from the outside at all. The screen fitter seems to think that the paint on the sealing surface has been damaged when the previous screen was fitted and this has initiated the rust. Hopefully it won't take too long to fix (there goes another weekend ) and I'm pleased it's been found now rather than after the roof has been repainted.

So to answer your question about rusting ... yes it might be rusting under there and you won't know until it's too late. If you have windscreen insurance, use it!


Good luck ...
