Thanks is this on a recently built vehicle? Thought it was fixed. Very disappointing for you.

When leaking, was your Grenadier parked level or at an angle. I think I read it can be worse when the vehicle is parked off level. Obviously shouldn't leak even if upside down!

Mine have been 'fixed' loads of times but still leak when I park on the angled part of my drive which is from a 7 degree angle. It's not just a little drip, roof lining is wet both sides and water runs down the b pillar to drip in the rear foot well. I personally think that there is not enough pressure on the seals from the glass when shut. The drain hole is in the front, so that doesn't work on an angle so it needs to seal properly, but doesn't. I nearly went for a Trialmaster as I new this type of sunroof can be problematic but never expected it to be this bad and whilst it was still new!

The truck is parked level in my driveway. The rains actually weren’t even that bad. It’s at Ineos right now and they’re fixing it. I don’t understand why this would be still a problem. I’ve read reports of it happening earlier in the model numbering.

So we’re probably all going to have rusting a pillars and firewall rot which is awesome because that means they’re just like a vintage Land Rovers the question is why do some leak and why some don’t?

Just park on the flat or facing down hill

Just park on the flat or facing down hill

Down hill with the passenger side lower, or if it is the drivers safari roof the drivers side lower. ( I think it also depends if there's a "r" in the month )

Sadly for me, it's both sides that leak when I park facing up hill

Strange to see it on a recent build as they were meant to have fixed that issue over a year ago.

Agree .

There are probably design factors at play that will be hard to overcome completely. Having had safari window leaks before and after the seals were replaced, one maintenance activity I do that might help. Each month, I inspect and clean the seals as necessary then apply silicon spray to a microfibre cloth and wipe the gaskets down to achieve a light coating. Let dry then close the window. Proving a negative here but since I started doing this, I have had no further leaks. Maybe it's helping. Or maybe I've just been lucky!
