I have developed the seemingly inevitable driver's footwell puddle on my LR3. Perhaps coincidentally, perhaps causally, this started to happen soon after I had my windshield replaced. Living in Seattle where we have weather phenomena called atmospheric rivers, I need to resolve this issue before my truck turns into a fishbowl. Having done cursory research, the first thing I checked was whether the sunroof drain hose was intact and in place at the hole where it exits through the body panel down by the brake pedal. All good there.
Before I lower the headliner to inspect the drains and plumbing around the sunroof frame, is there anything else I should eliminate? I haven't yet checked the continuity of the drain using the weed whacker string trick, so that's a potential next step. As is checking the reed valve or whatever the terminus of the drain hose is called on the outboard side of the footwell.
The headliner above the visors is getting damp during sustained rain, so something seems amiss in that vicinity. Any other suggestions for inspections before I go further?
