Leaking Safari Roof and Door Seals Flooding The Car And other Leaks and Problems

[CRH]

No drips from the cabin filter. I've had the cowel trim off a couple of times to check and made sure the drain is clear. Its driver and passenger as well.

My safari roof seals were changed a 2 or 3 times. Water would appear on the roof drip in dash and down the b pillars int rear footwell, car facing up hill. The water collecting between door seals never entered the cabin just collected between the 2 until you open the door, hence the need for holes in outer seals.
If you are facing down hill then is does suggest the drain holes in safari roof could be blocked. Is it on an incline enough to stop any excess water getting to the top/rear of the safari roof seals as i suspect that is where the main problem lies with them. Could be something else but I would get the seals changed again.
This style of sunroof were always problematic and I thought would be an issue when I got the vehicle. On the plus side, I wasn't disappointed

THe car parks slightly downhill (6 degrees according to it). I did a pour test on the drain tubes and water did appear at the bottom of the car. I did say to Sean @ Harwoods it doesnt mean all of it gets there!. Its bloody frustrating and the carpets make a very effective sponge

Would it be worth taping the roof joints with gaffa tape, totally sealing them off? If the water ingress stops, the problem is most definitely the sun roofs

If all fails I would look at the cowls again. All three of them and check if the grommets have fallen out. Seen it previously on here that water was getting in this way.

I have the same problem with my Trialmaster, however I found that it was not a leak but a large build up of condensation / ice on the inside of the safari roofs.
Now I use a towel and dry them every time I get in the car, also put a Unibond 360 desiccant dehumidifier in the car when not in use.

We've had a week of rain here in northern California. Real rain. I've had zero problems with my Grenadier, not a single one. Been pretty happy with that.

In my experience, you shouldn’t be having that amount of condensation in the Grenadier. I do experience that in my Td5 Defender, but my Grenadier is bone dry.

I'm with you on this one. I originally had the sunroof seals replaced by the dealer
But days later I had water on the dashboard. It transpired with we had heavy frosts (-10) the safari roof windows were dripping in condensation. When parked leaning slightly forward, overnight the condensation was running to front of the safari roof dripping on the sun visor and then the dashboard.
