Land Rover Defender - Leaky Defender! - Shorty180

Hi all

Been having some problems with the Defender recently as it's becoming more and more prone to water leaking in through the windscreen area and into the roof lining.

Now, I've been looking at sealants here (www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/search/results.html?s=se...h) but don't really have a clue which one to get, or if this is even the solution.

It's over 15 years old now and getting harder and harder to maintain sadly.

I thought water leaks were part of their charm.

I recall seing one with a sticker: This leaks more than the Titanic and has a larger turning circle.

Those things do leak! If you don't want water leaks don't buy a Land Rover Defender!

Drill a hole in the floor to let the water out!

It's fifteen years old, probably no need to drill holes in the floor!
