Leaking A Pillar
The window pillar next to the driver is leaking from near the airbag sign, I have a sunroof coupe this be the drain and if so how do I go about fixing it?
Thanks,
Solomon
UPDATE:
Pulled the A pillar trim off the external side as instructed, clips were all in tact however the 2 of the seals had worn away on the car, replaced these with two 20mm open spec grommets from B&Q, down the electrical Isle

Check your external A pillar trim, if it feels loose then it's probably leaking.

Trim removal tool under the windscreen edge (wrapped in a cloth), start at the top and work down…I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

I ran some Sikaflex round the clips when I did mine... the internal pillar has a small screw under the cover that says "airbag", the rest is just trim clips... be very very careful though as it's possible (but unlikely) to set off the airbag if you create a contact in the wrong place... suggest disconnecting the battery first to be safe...I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van...

Advanced factors do them but you might be just as well going to a local LR stealer and buying them there by the time you’ve paid for postage. The other option is AF do a clip selection kit (very useful) and they are defo in there. I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!
