I need to have a "bash" at doing this in September with LEX so that i can see if i can find where the rain is migrating into the cabin, and straight down onto my driver's side sunvisor (this is why its totally ruined!) and right down on to my knee! I had to drive from Chirk up to East Kilbride (Clare's house) in June, with a towel on my lap! Is it easy? I'm being told it is, but still need to find all the screws to get the surrounds off. Anyone have pics of the locations?
Hmm - that's definitely a new one! Lex never leaked at all when I had her. In fact some may remember the torrential downpour on the way back from Gaydon one year when I was running almost bald rear tyres.... never leaked a drop then.
The screws are under the glued-on outer door seals, in your case the silicone ones. You shoudl be able to feel them through the seal. I would probably have a go at cutting out the seal around each screw so the surround will come off without damaging the seal. They're really tough, but can tear if you have to peel them off.
On the bright side, Lex is early enough that the A pillar trims come out without taking the w/s off, which means you can run a bead of silicone around the inside, if it is indeed the screen that's leaking.
