I've read through everything I could, searched, but haven't found the answer yet. Nothing has addressed my problem, which doesn't appear to be the drain tubes.
Ok, I bought this 04 SE a few months ago, and while installing radio stuff, I found the carpet was soaked and the floor is rusty.
I went to the LR dealership as I still had a bit of warranty left. They said that they repositioned the sunroof drain tubes and resealed them. I'm not really sure what they mean by that. I could smell a solvent smell in the car, so they must have done something.
However, they also said I will have a remaining leak due to a crappy aftermarket windshield install that was not their responsibility.
I have proceeded to pull the car apart to fix this problem.
-I've got the carpets out so that they can dry and I can put some rust paint on the floor. I've also removed most of the interior trim.
-During a recent rain storm, the floor actually collected a little puddle of water. I can see it running down the metal behind where the kickpanel/deadpedal trim used to be. The headliner got wet on the front corners. Sometimes when turning a corner, water dripped out of the sunroof switch area.
So, I've established that after the LR repair to the drains, something is still happening.
-I've taken off the A pillar trim on the inside and outside so I can track down the problem.
-The windshield install does indeed look like a crappy install, however, I can't see how water could get past the TONS of goop they've got on there.
-I soaked the truck, starting from the top and working my way up. I used free flow from a hose, and sprayer, all around the windshield, and NOTHING came into the truck! I did the seals on the sides, the cowl area, the top, the sunroof, nothing came into the truck and pooled on the floor.
-I checked the drain tubes as best I could. I poured water from a jug into the sunroof tray. It gushed out the bottom of the truck as it should. Nothing came inside the truck. The drains seem to run free.
-I went to move the truck, and then water poured out of the upper trim/sunroof switch/rear view mirror area!
How in the heck is water collecting up there?
I'm going to start by dropping that upper trim, then maybe the headliner. But if anybody has any other ideas, it would be appreciated.
