Hey there-
So we are getting hit with major wet snow in the west right now, and I noticed my driver and passenger side floors are wet this morning when I got in the rover.
Last summer I replaced the sunroof drains as they had both deteriorated and had fallen out of their body holes. I used the method described elsewhere on this forum, where you cut the bad elbow off, use a quick-connect coupler, and reattach an OEM drain elbow. All seemed to be fine upon repair, even poured water on the sunroof and saw the water coming out the correct spots with no wetness on the floor. I then used a leaf blower to dry out the floors with the carpets lifted up for several hours to get everything back in order.
(Also repaired the broken ground wire on passenger side wire channel that was preventing my keyless entry from working—soldered that sucka so it won’t break again!)
So coming into a wet LR3 today was pretty disheartening. Anyone seen something similar, and found that it was perhaps another cause—maybe a bad sunroof seal or something?
Once the snow subsides I may just take the whole thing apart again and install new drains with no couplers. They should be working, but something’s amiss. I can check that the elbows haven’t fallen out of their body holes first—hoping it’s something as simple as that.
Any guidance or advice would be appreciated!
