As far as i know it should be one length, sounds like its made up of bits
does it come on a roll in factory and you've got a bit off the end of roll |

Makes me wonder if JLR employ a team of people dedicated to finding ways of annoying the
 out of loyal customers! |

Mine is the same, need tho change it but think it's a massive job. May try to smear a thin layer of clear silicone over it n see if that helps

It's a warranty job. Seal should be one piece.
My TDCI went in for 3 weeks to the body shop and they took the roof off and applied a new seal. 1951 80" S1 2.0 1995 110 300TDI 1995 90 300TDI |

If you want to "bodge it" try plumbers gold from ever build. It is like silicone but much stronger and can be applied if the area is not dry. It is brilliant stuff. Go for clear of course. I am not trying to sell this myself ( I can but that's not why I'm posting this reply)

After LR dealer repeatedly
it up, I changed the foam tape with the help of my sons (65 kg each) to sit on the roof corners whilst re-tightening. I also used butyl tape (previously used as a temporary fix) to make a secondary permanent seal. No leaks since 1 year  Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |
