Was out at Tollymore today, but my better half was taking the pictures on her phone.
One previous one, with Croft’s tourer sharing the limelight.

Unfortunately, had to strip out the carpets as the water from a sun roof leak was worse than I thought but actually not that much water in the bottom, just soaked carpets. Fixed the hopelessly inadequate pipe ends with the plastic pipe connectors from Halfords and glued them in place.
I would urge anyone with a sunroof on the 75 to do this fix before you get a leak. I left the fronts too long (did the backs a while ago) and now have to spend too much of my holiday stripping the car when I had plans to do other fixes!!!

Think it was due a change. Only half a fill/change, but will make sure all is good with the new solenoid, then get a full flush done via beniet's how to.

A couple of hours tonight removing one very very wet carpet.

Sunroof drains to be fettled tomorrow followed by a good clean up with anti bacterial cleaner to remove the mould that has formed on various bits.

Anyway, it fitted a treat .

There are many rear lights that have started to randomly hang from the roof lining, mine included. I bought a replacement but this is a great fix to what is becoming a common issue. Well done Sir.

Lol, it just seems like a couple of weeks ago I was doing something like that

Minging job, got drowned removing the carpet as all its contents went down my trousers and into my boots!

At least the cars shell is very well protected, not many cars about that could carry a carpet full of water around for Months and still show no rust.

Yes, it's not the nicest of jobs I will agree on that score

I'm going to try and dry the carpet out but I don't hold out much hope.
