Due to the complexity of the convoluted tube joint (circled) this is an area for careful inspection, as it a typical leak path. Repairs can be made by rolling or pressing the butyl seal to improve ad hesion or by additional sealant / dum-dum in the localized ar ea 1 Page 13 of 27 09-03-2011http://topix.landrover.jlrext.com/topix/service/pro cedure/146399/ODYSSEY/G1353010/...

Critical visual area = high quality of sealant finish required 2 Materials required: sealant, dum-dum 3 Allow the sealant to cure, and retest suspect area for water entry 4 Is water still entering the vehicle? Yes Carry out a water leak test and visual inspection o f any suspect or wet areas, once the water entry point ha s been determined refer to the Water Ingress Paths And Recommended Repair Procedure above No Reinstall any trim/panels or component that have be en displaced PINPOINT TEST Q : UPPER TO LOWER BODY JOINT (WAIST SIDE) TEST CONDITIONSDETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS Q1: UPPER TO LOWER BODY JOINT (WAIST SIDE) NOTE: The seal between the upper and lower body (waist seal) is made from a type of memory foam, the latest seal is in three sections which lock together, the seal is stu ck to the upper body side but is not stuck to the r ear tub NOTE: A key area to inspect is the welded joint o f the lower body capping. Sometimes the seal can be slightly inboard of the joint leaving a small cavity, by slackening off all the fixings of the body side it is possible with a plastic tool to push the seal back outwards closing the cavity. If it is a s mall cavity it is possible to seal the cavity with a small amount of sealant wiped into the cavity and any excess cleaned off, i f the vehicle is a model that is trimmed inside then the cavity can also be sealed from the inside, a larger amount of sealant may be used if it will be hidden in normal usage by the interior trim NOTE: Should the seal itself require replacement the upper body side can be removed without removing the roof panel itself by removing the upper and lower fixings and slackening the front and rear fixings, the roof panel can then be supported using a temporary support whilst the uppe r body side is removed to facilitate the seal change Care must be taken to ensure that the seal between the roof an upper body side is not compromised, and the seal across the front between the windscreen surround and the roof is still correct after instal lation 1 Materials required: sealant (clear or black), glove s, spirit wipe, cloth, tools, seals as required 2 Allow the sealant to cure, and retest suspect area for water entry 3 Is water still entering the vehicle?

Check for lumps / ripples or trapped conditions, as these are the probable cause of the water ingress Undo/slacken the fixing bolts on the inside of the roof (as required lower the headlining to access the fixings on some derivatives). Working outside of the vehicle, using a non metallic tool ( boning tool ) prize out the gas ket to ensure correct fit. Re-tighten the roof 1 Page 17 of 27 09-03-2011http://topix.landrover.jlrext.com/topix/service/pro cedure/146399/ODYSSEY/G1353010/...

Remove the hinge from th e vehicle. Remove the existing gasket and any residue of adhesives or sealant. Re-fit the hinge gasket. Appl y a small amount of sealant around each fixing hole 1 Page 18 of 27 09-03-2011http://topix.landrover.jlrext.com/topix/service/pro cedure/146399/ODYSSEY/G1353010/...
