Water Leaks

[NedH]

After installing my roof lights I am having issues with water leaking in on the left front pillar. I have used marine silocone, but still have water coming in somewhere. Tomarrow I will take off the front roof rack foot and re-apply silocone. Anyone else have this proble?

Please advise.

Where did you put the lights?

Good luck.
Pulling the OEM roof rack can be a real b!*&h...there's a chance you'll destroy it taking it off.

I already pulled off the left front. That is how I attached my own light bar. I decicided on a location for the light bar and drilled a one inch hole on opposite sides. To attach a snug fit I had to detatch the left side to insert the light bar.

Yep, mine leaks too. Where do you wires run? I pulled the factory rack off, installed and ARB, then put 4 lights on top and ran the wires down the A-pillars. Everything was fine until one day I noticed a little water under the kick plate on the driver's side. Still haven't tracked down the leak...but it's not constant. Sometimes it leaks, other times, nothing.

Oh, and I had no issue getting the roof rack off. Undo bolts, lift up, remove.

I took off the A-pillar covers and ran the wires down to the engine bay and in through the pre drilled hole in the firewall.


No holes................no leaks.
