Lots...

Try cleaning the seals... Are you sure its not the ariel, thats a common problem!

i dunno its comin in thro the panel jus below the winder handle ill have to have a look when its stopped raining

If its coming in from the s/r frame, it just needs siliconing down. Just make sure its really dry when you do it though.

Tighten the arial, mine was leaking from same place and this sorted it. Could also put silicon round as someone else said.

Mines doing the same mate, starts dripping from the interior light, will have to try the silicon trick !

What a coincidence - mine just started leaking through the interior light bit as well today, hopefully tightening the aerial will do the trick

Hmmm i wish mine came in through the interior light.. mine comes in from the Control panel.. and every since my nightmare trip to york (parked up and got petrol, locked the car.. came back and the remote central locking wouldnt work.. water had blown the fuse in the control panel, and i couldnt get into the car as i have delocked doors, had to get an RAC man to break in for me) I Dread it every happening again.. This has been fixed though, the water was coming in becuase my sunroof motor was broken and the sunroof wasnt shut fully.. and so the water came in. but im still going to put some selent around the ariel, if it still happens, its getting looked at.

Thats where mine was leaking from! The frame lifts up from the roof.

Thats what happened to mine (apart from the fact I have a Clifford so dont use the Renault Key Fob, therefore dont get locked out! )

You can open/close the s/r manually. There is an allen key hole in the middle of the motor. Mine had seized though, so I had to take the casing of and turn the electromagnet by hand!

Do you have the whip aerial ?? How do you tighten it without bending the roof up ? Ive tried to take my aerial off for a car wash but had to give up for fear of putting a large whole in the roof ??
