HELP! Loose roof - Land Rovers Only

vince80 · 12-18-2007, 09:11 PM

I was on my way home from snowboarding, when all of a sudden I hear ticking coming from the roof. I thought that it was just the roof racks, but I was wrong, I realized that it was my roof. Right above the windshield, the roof is coming loose, How do I fix this, and am I the only one to experience this problem?
Thanks in advance, Vince

BTW, there is some water leaking in.

It is just screwed on. But roof racks are not a good thing on any Landrover product and you may have cracked the frame. Look for cracks at the top of each pillar.

If you pull down the headliner you'll find screws about every 18" or so can't remember the exact distance apart I'm not near the truck. Those would be what's loose if I remember correctly I think there is also a rubber seal in there as well. Hopefully its just a few loose screws and the seal has shifted.

ill check that out.

The problem is now fixed! I dont know how it happened, but all the screws went loose.

Once the headliner was removed, all of the screws fell out. Luckily none were missing. Thanks for the help guys, I had an appointment for this at Land Rover Redwood City. I probably saved about $500
