Dude. I don't even own an LR3, but these are some amazing videos. Love the way you draw the diagrams so that people have a better idea of what to look for. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for sharing! I'm trading my LR in tomorrow, and wouldn't you know it the sun roof started to leak on me. Turns out there was a couple small acorns in there and one finally moved down and was stopping up the hole enough to make it leak if it rained heavily. The tube wasn't clogged but I ran a wire down like you instructed just to make sure.

Ok the solution if your drains are clear but sunroof leaks in the back of sunroof. I replaced the rubber weather seal around glass, still leaked. I then loosened the 4 screws for the glass and let the glass fall and rest in the lowest position and retightened the screws and NO leak! So if you ever remove sunroof glass let it rest at lowest position then tighten the screws!

Has it leaked since? I have a small leak in the back part of sunroof, so I bought the sunroof glass weather strip, dealer part but you can find em. I removed the glass, two hex heads on both sides, then removed old seal, and replaced with new seal. BUT when you go to put the glass back in there is room to adjust the level of the glass, so its tricky and I'm not sure I got mine perfect. So when the screws are in but not tight you can move glass all the way up or all down or somewhere in-between. Mind you its not even a fraction of an inch but it could make a difference! So I pushed glass upward and tightened all the screws that way, then held the vent button until it reset its self . Let me know if anyone else has removed glass and reinstalled and how you decided the placement of the glass before you tightened all the screws down! Thanks 2009 RR Sport
