Mine leaks through the door like jim-willy just explained i think of it as an extra feature that only comes on landrovers. Its worse when it goes all over you crotch lol.

Mine leaked during the torrential rain last Wednesday?/Thursday?
But it was that bad it filled a pedestrian subway in Wakefield to adepth of 6foot!
Normally it's bone-dry inside.

When SWMBO said the landy was leaving her damp, i said "told you it was a good buy!"

...she didnt look impressed!  :lol:

passenger side leak, above nigel the spiders little home..

apparently silicone is no good for sealing landys.. the black sticky horrible stuff is better, something to do with the stuff in it, apparently silicone doesnt stick aswell..... :?

Sikaflex is the stuff to use, its much better than silicone as its boat sealant and it sets with moisture :D
