Thanks to all the posters on this subject, exactly the same issue with water in the passenger footwell- found Sunroof drain Hose adrift, had a plastic ratchet Clip fitted presumably the Land Rover recall remedy, when refitted did close up 2 more serrations though, believe it had come off due to water freezing within it as it only had happened after a period of very cold weather, quite easy to sort as per a ‘Charliecloud’s’ instructions but note Headlining fixing Clips also needed prising out of Roof locations & fitting back in Headlining before attempting to refit, biggest job now is drying out Carpets & water collection points particularly under the front Seat! |

If you pull up the door sill trim you can get your hand under the carpet & foam sound proofing. The is a bit of massaging to get it back in place, more so at the rear end but it is not too difficult. The rear clip into the body is the hardest to position correctly but you should get it in after the second or third go, then push the middle & front clips back into position. You will be surprised at the crap under the door sill.

he has fitted a compressor under the seats so the blue hoses are the feeds to/from that. |

After several tips from others on this forum, and a Haynes manual, I managed to fix my issue myself within the space of an hour but could have been done quicker if I wasn't being so careful.

With the rain we have had locally this week I am very happy to have a GS with no sun roof. Good write up. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Just wanted to say that I followed the instructions posted by Charliecloud and they worked like a dream, thanks Charlie.

So, after having my leaky sunroof taped up for the last 6 months I decided to follow Charlieclouds very clear instructions and do something about it. Took my time and got the passenger side roof lining down far enough to see the pipe just above the B post. After an hour fishing about with some strimmer line I finally managed to get water out of the rear tube just in front of the rear wheel.

I've had the ceiling down twice for acoustic insulation. The job is a lot quicker the second time around. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

So, after much pulling and poking around the passenger side tube, I think I’ve cleared it. Water comes out in front of the rear wheel anyway The little white thingys that I mentioned weren’t drains at all but the nylon pegs holding the roof lining in place. However, as they were protruding into the front channel I put a dollop of silicone over them just in case. Hopefully all is now home and dry, fingers crossed. |

At the risk of wearing this subject out I’ve just found what could be a useful shortcut that may save a lot of work.
