Just tackled the drivers side and had great difficulty trying to get to the sunroof drain pipe. Those hand tight clips holding the lower panel took an age to get off.
Its back breaking too. The photos of the drain pipe are all taken from an upside down perspective! "The comment this Rover will be the death of me" rings bells with me. I can't understand for the life in me why Rover would use sun-roof drain pipes that joined inside the cabin. Why on earth join in the first instance? Surely Rover could have used continuous piping. I think it was all part of a plan so that water inside the cabin would mean that owners would buy another car instead of repairing. I believe Rover75's have been killed off by the majority of owners coming across this issue alone! Nobody wants a wet interior!!!
