Hi Roy,

Merry Xmas,

I've had this on both my Disco's.  It's always been the same place :)  Outside where the gutter meets the rear quarter there is a deep groove which LR sealed with some Seam sealant that degrades over time and lets water in.

Just clean it up outside and then fill the gap with some silicone and hopefully job done.

Yep X2.

Had to do both of my top corners last winter.  You may need to take the trim piece off the gutter to get all of the old gunk out and dont forget to check under the gutter where the roof/side/rear panels join as mine was leaking there as well.......
Son, life has a habit of kicking you in the ass and i only have vague recollections of when it wasn't kickin mine!
