The idea of the sleeve is that it extends inside beyond the end of the original drain hole so that if the original drain did become disconnected then the insert will hold everything in place, at least hopefully long enough until you detect it on your next regular inspection, and minimise any water ingress. _______________________________________________

I wish I could take credit for it but that belongs this chap at 'Critical Reviews' here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQpp2mm-lH0 _______________________________________________ 2019 4.4 V8 Diesel Range Rover Autobiography, Byron Blue |

You can also pull the headlining away, just in front of the rear grab handle and shine a torch up to see where the rubber tube attaches.

OK looking at the Critical Reviews YouTube video it looks like I just have to remove the trims and I will be able to see the drains. The sunroof doesn't need to open.

I think that the drains are only present with the opening roof. There's no reason for them to be there with a fully fixed roof, only for the opening mechanism.

Thanks, I am guessing but I assumed the panoramic roofs are interchangeable in terms of size and just fitted into the roof. The body is probably the same though which makes me think it should have them.

Relax, the fixed panoramic roof is bonded in, much like your windscreen, and there are no roof drains. ![]() |

Does the L322 suffer from the same issue ?

It would seem like it, according to this by powerfulukltd.
