That is the correct part. Only the whole thing not just the rubber. 🤨. Pic your requested. 👇🏻

I have found that the original seal for the twist handle sunroof is long lasting, usually what causes leaks is where the roof hasn’t been operated for six months over the winter, the seal can stick to the glass on the rear corners and when operated it lifts the seal out of the frame and unseats it; the seal will then not seat in the frame properly unless it is fed back into position in the frame by hand.
They can also leak from the roof to outer frame fitment, this seal is foam strip and can go flat and leak over time - the inner rubber / felt trim can be removed and the sunroof frame unscrewed (torx self tappers), the outer frame can then be lifted and bedded back down again on decent sealant. |

They specifically advertise that seal as being for the twist style sunroof, which is what I have. The text on LR Parts says: "Introducing the LRC10106 Weather Seal for the rotary handle style factory fit popup sunroof...Previously only available with the AWR3321 Sunroof Frame, this particular seal fits between the frame and the glass. It's specifically designed for the Defender's later rotary handle" But it seems to me anyway that it can only go in one way - and it does fit perfectly - but its design seems totally different to the OEM seal and means the glass can't fit properly. A bit of internet digging suggests this aftermarket seal (LRC10106) was made by TASC Automotive who also trade as the Bristol Sunroof Centre. I was about to email them and ask for some info but seems they went out of business in 2021! LR Parts weren't particularly helpful when I messaged them, so it seems I am up the creek. I don't fancy forking out 600 quid for a new sunroof if I can help it. |
