Disco 1 "200"

Providing you get them the right way round. Don't assume the ones already there *are* the right way round. Mine weren't.

Can't remember, but I think so.

If they're a bit leaky it's probably a good place to start. It solved mine, which had (judging by the interior) leaked for some time.

Fairly.

Yes.

Definitely! It's more usually the drain channels, not the seals.

Where are the drain channels on the lift-out tilt only sunroofs on the early

Looking at it it seems to be simply a hole with a seal that the glass clamps into - I suspect that only the pan and tilt version has drainage channels.

I think you're right. The later types (as on most cars) don't actually have a seal per se, they fit in a hole with a sort-of-seal, but have a waterproof enclosure with drains.

these are the early type which have a rubber seal on which the glass panel sits.

I agree Paul. Julian, are you thinking of the later types? I hunted high and low for drain channels on my manual-tilt ones and couldn't find anything. Therefore I could only put it down to the seal. My deduction was vindicated.

You're right - I must be!

At least two of the leaks are definitely the front sunroof seal - water observed sneaking in there. I guess replace that first and see if that stops the water getting into the headlining which runs out the front corners occasionally. That might be alpine lights, noticed some cracks in the rubbers of same.

heyho. Everyone complains about defenders leaking, but my antiquated and now sadly departed 110 was a damn sight more watertight than this disco, granting that it didn't have sunroofs, of course.

My first 200 had man sun roofs like yours and they leaked. checked the seals and found to be caveres in green goo which I cleaned off and then spreyed the seals with silicone. The leaks went away!! Worth a try first.
