Ive had it with the leaks!!!
Sammy_D:
Hey guys. Ive had enough of my leaking sun roofs. Front and back!! I dont use them anyway just use the windows and air con.
What i am thinking if sealing the dam things up. Taking the winders off and sealing up inside the screw part and putting widners on again.
What would be the best sealent to use and where to put it?
Thanks
Sammy D

I just sealed my defender sunroof up with a nice big fat roll of heavy duty weather resistant Black Nasty :dance:
Last November in all that rain I was on a road trip to John o groats when the sunroof decided that it be good time to throw huge puddle of waters into the cabin every time I stopped. So we did an emergency repair with a roll of duck tape, it's been on there and water tight untill today where it finally succumbed to UV weathering. So on with the black nasty :lol:
Sammy_D:
is that the name of the stuff. Black nasty? if so where can i get it? just a diy store? how do you apply it?

its the nick name for heavy duty good quality wide black fabric backed very sticky gaffer/duck/100mph/bodge tape. The farmer supply store (mole valley supplies) is where I got it from, not their own brand but a better quality which stated it had more weather resistance. Should last a year or so before replacing and I get away with it because my truck old defender is dark coloured anyway....... it's a bodge..but I stay dry.

Tape is ok but I like the idea of openin the sun roof covering all the seal with silicon then shutting it and addin more silicone I also took them out and resealed them to the roof as well so far been cured for 3 months with mine bein electric I took the fuses out so they would never work again I don't get the point in the if landrover can't make them to last then give up on the idea rant over
