Believe it or not, the dealer is right. A few droplets of water seeping through the gasket are acceptable, and expected. This was confirmed a while back by our "resident" independent mechanic RoverGuy7, whom I trust blindly.

 

Thank you. That's the reassurance I needed. Great site BTW.

 

I'm curious about this, what is meant by water leakage? Water coming in after washing or a storm when you open the sunroof, or water actually coming inside, and soaking the headliner? Mine seems fine, water will come in after a wash or rain when I open the sunroof, but every car or truck I've owned does this. I do know the Discos had a more prevalent issue where it was in fact soaking the inside of the car due to poor/clogged drainage tubes.

 

In this particular instance for me, it didn't soak the headliner. I just noticed water had come in and gathered in the tray just below the sunroof. Again, according to the dealer water finding its way in but then finding its way out via the tubes built into the car is normal. According to RR dealer, the sunroof is not designed to be a perfect seal.

 

Ah, this makes sense. Thanks for clarifying. I absolutely love my RRS. Just gets better each year, each month.

 

All of the sunroofs I've had have had some kind of drainage system with them. Some designs are more prone to clogs.

With the RRS, one thing to make sure if you're getting a lot of water in, is whether the glass is properly aligned when closed - it should be just slightly higher than the roof, so that water doesn't pool on the glass. This reduces the amount of water that goes into the drains, making it less likely to have problems with the drainage system.
