Roof Leak

After heavy rain I get a steady drip from the light unit set in the roof lining near the rear view mirror. My RRS is a 2010 facelift model with a factory fitted sunroof, has anyone experienced a leak in this area and f so did you manage to find the source. I have looked for anything obvious but can't see anything that jumps out.

Thanks for any help

You'll probably find it's the roof drains that have got clogged up and caused the water to back up and drip down.

Thanks for the reply/suggestion I'll have the drain tubes blown out with compressed air and see how it goes.

I think you need to thread something down them, not air

If you use air and blow the drain tubes off, then you will have a problem In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
