Default Panoramic Roof Jaguar Stamped?

Hello,
I've been chasing a roof water leak on my sportbrake and believe the roof glass may have been replaced. Every other piece of glass is stamped that it is from Jaguar with exception of the roof, wondering if anyone knows if the panoramic roof glass also had the Jaguar stamped on them?
I've been reading here about others that have had troubles with panoramic roof repairs/replacements and I'm sick thinking I have to go through the process but if I must so be it.
Thank you.

Harlo does your sportbrake have load racks installed? If so look there first.

Yes, I do have tracks. I did apply water from the outside of the rack with no water penetrating.
I really feel the roof had been replaced as the gap from the body panel to the glass on the drive side is noticeably larger than the passenger side.
There is no Jaguar stamping on the panoramic glass which I find curious as all the other glass does have that stamping from Jaguar.

Will look at our sportbrake's glass. Where does the water show up inside?

It's running down the A Pillar on the driver's side and exciting through the vent and polling in the footwear.
after running water up the A pillar I didn't experience a leak until I reach the area where the panoramic roof begins above the driver's seat.
I'll take some pics tonight if it's not raining and post. I'll also do the passenger side to highlight the difference in the gap containing the rubber piece between the body panel and the glass.
Thank u very much.

I must say I love driving this car, it's fantastic. Good power (always want more), handling and comfort with great support under spirited driving.
Have you done any modifications to yours?
Didn't realize how few where built to after purchase.

We will check the glass but the leak we had came from the front mount of the load carriers---------on the drivers side and it ran down the a post. Rovers have this issue often so the techs say.

Hope these are clear enough. I tried to show how the passenger side rubber seal is basically a "v" between the glass and body panel whereas the driver side is just laying flat. Hope this makes sense.
I don't see how to remove the roof rail from the exterior so I'm assuming you need to remove the headliner check to see if that may be the issue.

We checked our 19 and the glass is not marked. As you said all other glass is marked. Best of luck!
