There is a modified sunroof out now.

Loof at the drain gulleys if the front ones sweep backwards its the old style and of the front ones go sideways thats the new style i think!

in the three and a half years i’ve had mine, the sunroof has only leaked once. i cured it by removing the branch that had caught in it while i was reversing…

I was thinking the same thing :question: :question: :question:

a bit of vaseline rubbed on the seal at regular intervals seems to do the trick, but not sure about the long term effects it will have on the seal.
if it goes into a dealer for service just tell them when you drop it off.

thanks for your replys look like its a new seal kit and a tub of vaseline’, and it’s new paint that 's what i ment to say, who wants a zb digital tacho anyway

A windscreen leak on a DAF ■■? nah…

15

I had trouble of that sort with a Daf when I was pulling pallets on agency one fine and thundery evening. I drove into a cloudburst and by the time I had the sun-roof under manners, the tray on the centre console was half full of water and my phone was drowned in the bottom of it :cry: And, no, the muppets didn’t buy me a new phone.

my old CF 8 wheeler used to leak through the windscreen and the interior light
Nothin a gallon of petrol and sum matches won’t Sort out
