Hi all,
am a newbie on here and this is ma first post so please be gentle 
am looking for some technical help, av only had my disco 1 for 4 month and found its got a really bad water leak at the rear at the windows, its not got a sunroof,  a looked at the windows on the roof and found the seals were cracked and perished so av sealed them and hought a had fixed it but then a was getting water on the storage cover, so stripped out the rear trims where the speakers are and water tested it and found it leaking from between the 2 windows at the seem, a will try to upload photos
just looking to see if anybody has had this and the fix, me thinks it might be the roof rack rails/gutters but cant see any obvious damage

any info would be greatly appriecated

cheers gibby

Has the metal corroded and forced the rubber seam ? Might be a strip out, sand and clean-up would solve it in that case.

If the rubber has fine cracks then a product like "Captain Tollies Leak Seal" might work. Bigger cracks then black silicone sealant ?  An auto-factor will alos sell a non-setting compound for fitting windscreens. That works well when squidged into the window rubbers before replacing the glass.

Good luck !

Hi there,
it doesnt appear to be coming from the seals from either windows, its dripping out the box section between the windows, so a dont understand how it can get in and am hoping to get it at least water tight for the grr on the 19th     which would be my first outing

cheers gibby

Could there be a gap between the panels ?   If we ever got a dry day you could test for the source by pouring water on one area at a time. Problem is it could be travelling a long way along a box section before re-emerging. Bit of a Nightmare. I've seen a similar leak on a 90 solved by re-sealing the whole of the gutter with non-setting mastic.

That sounds like a plan a think a will just seal it today or tomorrow

thanks guys
