Land Rover sunroof leak repair and bedliner for the headliner

[@bmoran2]

I just completed RedEyed Jack's sunroof leak and bedliner headliner customization. It looks great. I thought I'd share a few things I learned. The bushing mentioned, I found at Home Depot. It was "Everbilt Spacer #10 ID x 5/16 in OD x 1 in L". It was in the hardware section with the trays of lose nuts & bolts. I struggled to get the foam off of the headliner. I spent hours with a plastic scraper and alcohol. I didn't find a good solution other than time and muscle. I thought I cleaned it pretty well. Then I used Rust-Oleum spray-on bedliner. After three coats, it looked horrible. It highlighted all the little bits of foam residue. I then applied the Herculiner Bedliner using the roll-on kit. Two coats and it looked awesome. Definitely go with the roll-on to get the proper texture and hide any residual foam. I also had a tear in my headliner. Before I painted, I used Bondo to repair it and it seemed to work well and the roll-on texture covers it nicely. My sunroof had another small leak so I removed the sunroof and repaired it. It is easy to do with the headliner out. It just needed a bead of silicone. That fixed the issue. I left the headliner out for 1 week and the smell is minimal. And the noise level seems the same to me as has been stated many time. Thank RedEyed Jack for inventing this solution!

The color on the headliner completely transformed the interior! Feels more inviting I bet 👍🏼 nice work .

[@dantorrito6669]

First off, thank you for posting this video & fix!! I bought a 2004 Disco 2 a couple years ago and have been plagued by not only a leaking sunroof, but also a droopy, damaged headliner. I took your advice and the problem is now solved!! Thank you again

[@RedEyedJack]

Dan Torrito awesome!!!

[@iraydo]

That looks incredible! My 98 Disco had a leaking rear sunroof for quite some time before I owned it. Now the headliner is shot. This is exactly what I want to do.

[@mrp410]

I copied what you did 100% - got same results! Thank you - this worked out well and was very easy to do. Just need time and patience. No rushing. Keep the small parts in sandwich bags and remember what goes where.

Thank you for the upload. I found it very helpful. My grandfather gave me his 2004 Discovery because I'm a poor college student but it had mushrooms growing in it from all the water coming through both sunroofs. I was unsure whether I would have the strength or skill to remove the headliner but it was easy. The idiots at Land Rover had glued the plastic corners into the metal sunroof gutter and all four corners leaked. With a friends help we removed the sunroof assembly and reinstalled the plastic corners plus replaced the rubber seal that mates with the glass when it is closed and voila!,no more leaks. I may use your idea of the bed liner as headliner but I need to think about it.

[@RedEyedJack]

Katherine Kelly that is great to hear! If you are on Facebook, look up Land Rover Discovery 1, 2, and Defender club. Lots of great info on that page.

[@lcagee]

When you replaced the plastic corners, how did you glue them in place? I got some scotch weld 8005 epoxy but have not tried it yet. It looks like it is glued in place with silicone but is obviously leaking. Also you must have removed the metal pan and it appears you can only get to it with the headliner out.

Bora Yurtoren no problem!!! if you have a 04 with the big roof rails check those for leaks as well!!!

[@borayurt66]

Mine is a 2000 TD5. Good advice !

[@samuelberry9152]

Thanks for your video! I have a 2003 Disco and I was inspired enough by your video to do the same thing. My moonroof also leaked and the same piece of plastic was broken off in the same corner. I actually used the plastic cylinder of papermate pen that fit into the hole and went into the tube perfectly! I also used epoxy as you recommended. My headliner was stained with mold next to the low spot on the passenger door and was drooping down in a couple spots. Tore it off and used flat black paint as you did... turned out great. The only thing is the smell of the paint still lingers... Thank you again for your video!! Sam

[@RedEyedJack]

Glad it helped!!! Mine has held up perfect. Still looks as good as the day I did it.

[@hughdeeming772]

Used this method to repair the exact same leak - which had already been 'repaired' once using silicone and a cut-down rawlplug. This advice was spot on; a solid leak fix. Thanks ...Now just the clutch judder to sort. Land Rover = proactive maintenance

[@mrp410]

I also fixed my leak, which was the roof rails/bars. They are sealed with a flimsy bit of neoprene and not very well glued in. I removed them and replaced the neoprene and sealed with black silicone sealant. With the roof liner off I was able to pump a fair bit into the recess where the roof bars connect. Worked. Dry as a bone.

[@RedEyedJack]

for sure. I just installed the extended roof bars on my truck, nothing like taking a 1" hole saw to the roof. I did the same thing, sealed them up good and tight.

[@mrp410]

@@RedEyedJack Takes some courage to start cutting into your roof! Would be great to see the extended roof bars.

[@dylanhibbert3811]

Looks good! I'm fixing to begin the exact same project myself, along with a speaker replacement and crankshaft seal replacement. great video.

[@RedEyedJack]

if you are planning on bedlining the headliner, just know that it stinks. it's been a week and a half and the smell of the bedliner has gone down quite a bit but is still very noticeable. I've been keeping the windows open as much as possible to help it air out. I'm sure it will go away completely eventually but who know how long it will take. with that said though, I'm still thrilled with the results. one other recommendation, epoxy all four of you sun roof drains at the seem of the plastic and steel, and clear silicone around the sunroofs or replace the seals. I have to pull the headliner back down and find another leak.....ugh! thanks for watching!

it is a real common issue but the fix is really simple so I'm glad I have the sunroofs, it let's a lot of light into the truck. but for ease of ownership, no sunroofs is the way to go!!! they are not that common though.

Thanks for posting. Hoping to do the same as you once I fix a few other problems that cropped up last week (battery went dead and somehow unsynced by BCU and ECU!) Bought my disco 2 earlier this year, and I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one still driving one. Not very common in mid-Michigan, but I don't mind driving (and fixing) a unicorn.

[@RedEyedJack]

down here in Florida D2s are everywhere!!! with being from the rust belt, how is the rear frame rust wise? that is usually the determining factor whether to keep fixing them or not!

[@joekirklin]

+RedEyed Jack This truck is clearly not from around here, or it would be a pile of reddish-brown (and white) dust by now. Previous owner said it had come from California not long ago. The other factors in not being common around Michigan: 1. practically no dealerships to sell them. 2. Good old boys in this state don't like foreign cars.

[@RedEyedJack]

Joe Kirklin Good to hear!!! I'm originally from Buffalo NY so rust was always a concern. Down here in Florida, everything is so clean!!! I makes sense about the no dealer network for sure.

Took the headliner out today to do the bedliner finish. Not surprisingly, the sunroof drain broke off in the process. Dry rot no doubt since it's an '03 Disco. Pleased to see both of these tips in one video or I'd be lost. I'll try the hardware store fix tomorrow for the sunroof. Bed liner will be sprayed on afterwards simply because it's an option. Rolled on bedliner looks great though. Thanks for the video. Question: Did the bedliner chip, crack, or break after squeezing the headliner back into place through the cargo door?

[@RedEyedJack]

the bedliner held up great putting it back in. No issues at all!!! I would have sprayed it as well if I could have. I was really worried about the finish looking rolled if you know what I mean. As for the drains, I epoxied all four drains just to be safe!!! And I also used clear silicone around the sunroof frame on the roof for extra protection. Hopefully I'll never have to do it again! Glad the video was helpful!!!

[@7281546309]

+RedEyed Jack I wound up using a piece of 5/16" brake line for the drain. Also for anyone reading, the coupler will go into the drain and tubing inside the broken off piece. Don't remove the old nipple from the drain tube.

Hi, this must be the coolest interior I've seen. Thinking about doing mine in a similar way, cause my interior is also creamy leather, but I was wondering if removing the entire foam made an impact on the soundproofing. Someone pointed to me that the noise from outside could be getting louder than before, especially when it's raining. Could you please share if that's the case? Thanks for your time.

[@RedEyedJack]

I have not noticed any difference in road noise or while it's raining. If you were really wanting to make sure, you could put some sound deadening on the roof while the headliner was out

[@RedEyedJack]

Yeah man, it covered that well. All these years later it still looks like I did when I did it. One of my favorite mods I've done, I'd do it again! Just be ready for it to smell for a week or two. If I did it again, I'd leave the headliner out for at least a week for the paint to cure. It has a pretty strong smell. But once it's gone, it's gone. It's super durable too.

Did you use the 2-part rusteum bed liner with the epoxy hardener, or just the ready to roll can? It seems they’ve rebranded the two-part as a “Professional” version now. Also, matte or gloss? I’m hoping to get exactly what you did!

RedEyed Jack​ Thank-you so much for the quick reply man! I appreciate it! I have another question, it feels like the foam has some give to it when you press on it, should I be worried about the bedliner cracking when installing the headliner again?

[@RedEyedJack]

nerdy8675309 let me start at the beginning. Peel the headliner fabric off. Get a good heavy nylon scrub brush and scrub all the foam off of the headliner "board" for lack of a better word. Wipe it down with denatured alcohol. Roll on the bedliner. The bedliner is flexible so no worries about it cracking but I did wrinkle the headliner in the front passenger corner trying to reinstall it myself. Have some one give you a hand getting it back in. But no worries about it cracking. That bedliner is tough stuff. Plus if anything ever happens to it just touch it up with more bedliner, it will blend in super easy!!

We’re there any issues with broken tabs... I’m about to pull my headliner... it would appear that I might have a leak not associated with the pan drains.

[@RedEyedJack]

I did not have any issues with broken tabs. But i really took my time and was really careful.

[@martinhogan5970]

I appreciate that. I’ve partially pulled it to check front roof motor, and I’ve actually had my headliner replaced. Seems that, after install, I have some leakage. It wasn’t a LR specific place so I’m thinking they might have been a little rough...

[@RedEyedJack]

@@martinhogan5970 That happens. That is why i try and do all my own work.

[@amacca995]

I was going to do a similar thing to my D1. Until i took the liner out and began painting it. Looked horrible not to mention the edges where the liner meets the sides did not look any good. Went to a fabric place and picked up some black material. Got some contact adhesive from bunnings and went to work. Each to there own i guess........

[@RedEyedJack]

I'm not that familiar with the d1 headliner but on the d2 there is trim everywhere, no bare edges. I'm really happy how it turned out. I think it looks better than factory!

[@mariotvines]

BTW just wanted to say thank you. After I saw your idea I did it to my Disco 2, and love it. I used Monstaliner for anyone curious. Thanks Again!! Side Note: Do you have any plans/designs for your bumper?

[@RedEyedJack]

Mario Vines glad it worked out for you, thanks for watching!

[@dakburn]

nice work! love your Disco

[@RedEyedJack]

Burt Dougam thanks bud!

[@djhashis300]

Looks like this is my next project as well.. I've had shop rags stuffed in the top Left and Right corner for 2 years now lol.. also headliner is coming off.. terrible design! Thanks for sharing!

[@RedEyedJack]

DAVID K PATTON No problem! Thanks for watching

[@mrp410]

Use the denatured alcohol to get the glue off and you'll be amazed what is under there. First get the cloth off, then remove the little net pockets (small screws hold them in place). Then just take your time getting that yellow glue gunk off with the denatured alcohol and a cloth. Then you're off and ready to paint. I followed this exact process in the video and got SAME results. It looks amazing.

[@dtamburri]

Do you have more noise without the fabric headliner

[@RedEyedJack]

Not at all.

[@nolo1337]

Well I guess I know what to do when I get this issue

[@lcan9447]

It would have been nice to see how to remove everything that holds the headliner in.. The lights and a\c vents are giving me trouble and finding a video that shows how to disconnect then from roof or headliner has yet to be found.

[@RedEyedJack]

Best thing I can tell you is to download the RAVE manual off the net and follow step by step. I don't have rear air so it would not have helped you in that anyway. I just followed the service manual step by step

[@lovingitandlife]

well done mate,thanks for the info,parts are expensive from l/Rover over in the UK,my roofs been leaking for years now its time to do something,just 2 q's 1,was your headliner foam base or fibre glass,mines foam 2,did you get it out and put it back on your own? 3.epoxy resin,which 1? it looks great,well done,thanks Mark,UK.

[@RedEyedJack]

mark fairminer sorry for the late reply. my headliner is not fiberglass. I pulled the fabric off, scraped the foam off from under the fabric and the actual headliner seams like it's a paper based product. I did remove it and install it solo but I wrinkled the passager front corner doing so. wish I would have asked for help. the paint product I used was Rust-o-leum roll on bedliner.

[@lovingitandlife]

thanks,yea mine is a fibre so I will get some fabric and a spray adhesive and will try that in the smmer,will let you know how I get on.

[@andrewmills9261]

Do you have any videos of when and how you removed the headliner?

[@RedEyedJack]

andrew mills no but download the RAVE manual and follow it step by step. That's what I did.

[@andrewmills9261]

Thank you!

Robert Schendle. Thank you very much.

[@HAUNTS360]

Looks really good.

[@RedEyedJack]

Michael Macastle thanks man. Picking up another d2 for the wife and I'm gonna do this all over again!!!

[@GiselleTrujillo]

Awesome!

[@livingintongues]

What product did u use for the headliner?

[@mrp410]

truck bed liner paint. It is about $80 a gallon on amazon with the roller and a brush - and when dry has the appearance of textured cloth.

[@RedRockShane]

I'm about to do this to my D2. Question: Did removing the headliner increase the outside noise dramatically?

[@RedEyedJack]

Removing the fabric did not chance the sound of road or wind noise at all.

[@kremesti]

this video is awesome

[@brandonloaiza6927]

did you paint all the other interior like the back of the seats and dashboard and with what

[@RedEyedJack]

Brandon Loaiza the only thing I painted was the headliner. everything else is stock, the way it came from the factory.

[@brandonloaiza6927]

oh nice i wish mine came like that, mine is all one color, the same as your seats

[@Agathescom]

ooh you got double sunroofs too! TD5ES?

[@RedEyedJack]

4.6l SE and I'm using SAE measurements lol....I'm in USA! we never had TD5 in the states:(

[@Robert5454kid]

what brand of bedliner did you use? My headliner has taken a dive in the last week and is almost fully dropped this is something i might start tackling in the next week or so

[@RedEyedJack]

Robert Kidwell Rustolem brand.

[@Robert5454kid]

Thanks brother

[@RedEyedJack]

Robert Kidwell yes sir!

[@tcr6v1]

how long did it take to drop the headliner? Im thinking of dropping it in my 04 to run coax for cb whip on the tire carrier. Typing this I realized it might be easier to just use fishtape to run it up there lol

[@RedEyedJack]

I don't think a fish tape will do it for you. there is tons of stuff to get hung up on. I downloaded the D2 service manual and just followed it step by step. I had it out in less than an hour. quick tip, fold your rear seats down and have someone give you a hand removing the headliner from the truck.

[@chuckfinley5206]

So that's how I stop my roof from leaking. Now watch me do all of that and find out it's a windshield leaking. Mine's a 97 with a salvage title. I keep finding little issues with it.

[@robberoberto]

I wanted to ask you something! it ways difficult to remove the roof ??? Do you need special tools? Thank you

[@RedEyedJack]

Roberto Romano no special tools. Do a Google search for "Discovery 2 Rave Manual" download it and follow the step by step instructions. It took me an hour or so to remove and another hour or so to reinstall

[@AmateurTroll69]

Does this apply to discovery 1? Mine is leaking too

[@RedEyedJack]

I wish i could say for sure, but i can not, sorry.

[@AmateurTroll69]

@@RedEyedJack :( but seems like the same layout of the disco 1 as I see... So worth a shot

[@tylerlewis7984]

That looks great

[@broli85]

nice video. is the headliner and sunroof still holding on?

[@RedEyedJack]

yes sir, headliner still looks like the day I put it in and zero leaks since I fixed it!

[@broli85]

nice job! will be doing it on mine soon... hope i am as successful :)

[@3dag3nt79]

Nice one bud , gonna be doing this tomorrow , your Sunroof still not leaking?

[@RedEyedJack]

Yes. Front sunroof still holding. I did have to do this repair to the rear sunroof about a year ago.

[@3dag3nt79]

@@RedEyedJack hi again, so I finally got round to doing this today stripped it down from car, rubbed it down, painted it, going to do third coat tomorrow.. i am concerned about condensation though , have you had and water fall from surface of the roof , not from the sunroof , but actual condensation droplets , through any of the seasons? or any cons at all over the past 3 years with this... thanks in advance.

[@RedEyedJack]

@@3dag3nt79 No issues at all. I've had to pull the headliner down twice since it did it to work on the sunroof motor, no signs of any condensation or anything.

[@schuylerbrock]

How has it held up?

[@RedEyedJack]

@@schuylerbrock it's looks just as good today as it did the day I did it!!!!
