I had a problem with rear windshield and putting silicon sealing between rubber and door, fixed problem. Only thing you have to be aware of is that is not acetate silicon .:rolleyes:
PS: Perfect to use between rubber and glass.:)

G'day - Strange Rover ,

Had the same problem with my Series One Discovery - but no easy solution was apparent at the time .
Land Rover Australia replaced the rubber seals under warranty and it never leaked water after this was done .
Some of these seals escaped the Factory Quality Control in production - and were not fitted properly .
I would suggest finding some local windscreen merchants - and getting some quotations to fit some new seals to the windows .
Other than that - - It's back to a LR Dealer .
This area of the roof is also prone to rust problems if you let it go for too long .

Cheer's ,
