Did you get a fix for this as I have the same leaks on both sides. |

Not fixed yet, seems to be worse when the weather was much colder. Advice generally points to the drain pipes on the sunroof, but as yet not had a chance to remove the roof trim. I'm a bit scared of snapping all the clips. RRS HSE Dynamic SDV6 2014

That is your sunroof drains, they will have rusted off. The rainwater will berunning backwards into the boot and into that area, thats where mine was damp inside and traced it back to the sunroof drains rusting off, now all fixed but you need to check this out asap as it could start leaking under the passenger seats. |

So you need to check the drain tubes are still secured to the drain holes, you need to take the rubber door seal off the around the door frame where the rear seats are , you can the pull headliner down and check you should be able to fit your hand in and see/feel the rubber drain tube just check it is securely attached to the drain nipple from the sunroof, if it feels crusty and loose then its come away with corrosion.

Thanks for all the advice and the links, although in my experience trim never just 'pops off' without snapping clips. Any guidance on a technique for the strips alongside the sunroof? RRS HSE Dynamic SDV6 2014

The clips on the sunroof are different to interior clips, the sunroof trims push down onto a fixed screwed in clip so you can really snap them, you need a plastic trim removal tool, stick it under the rubber gasket then turn it 90 degrees keep doing this along the black plastic trim and it will all just pop off.
