New Windscreen Leaking
Just a bit of advice really, Autoglass are calling by this Friday cos my NEW OEM screen is leaking. Not a lot, but noticed the mat on Saturday was wet, and today in the rain I looked and found the tell tale trail of rain water coming from the N/S A pillar, down towards the bonnet pull lever.
Is it a screen out procedure, or more mastic would you think. I only ask as I will again have to remove the RAI.

Oh FFS
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it'll be a whole body off.Save yourself the hassle and some expense , wait until the new Range Rover Lite , LAND RANGER , MINI RANGE Discovery 10 comes out.Come back and post your findings.Failing that inject the seal with some liquid umbrellas.

I had thought that, but never use the sun roof TBH, its always shut so my guessing the drain holes aint blocked. Dont use it cos of the noise from the Expo

Its only a little trickle TBH, runs from behind the ABS A Pillar cover, then down to the floor. Canny rule out the drain tubes for the roof, they may have been dislodged when the screen went in. Who knows aye, I will check that out in the morning

Neil, thay say they aint techys, and wont remove it. But if the screen needs to come out they need to remove the trims, which the RAI holds down on the O/S

When I went through the Ford, it filled up my Spare Wheel cover to the brim, and only a tiny drain hole. Got stopped a few times by people flashing me saying its leaking to its fooked mate. Took ages to drain.
Scottish by birth yes, but lived south of the Border All my life Neil

Could be leaking from where the A pillar trim clips go into the A pillar, LR say new clips every time the trim is removed
BTW, i'd expect at least a couple of airbags deployed if you went through a Ford, although just a bit of moistness if you went through a ford...

Standing corrected. Last time I spelt it, it was Fjord
Iain, was told that NEW clips were used as it was done at a Dealership. Something a miss me thinks.
