I didn't like the rubber gaskets that i tried. They spread under load and then needed trimming. I think Huttopia is right in sticking with the card gaskets. Shame these were not available before I resprayed mine though! Big Cry

Mmmm, wonder if I could persuade Land Rover to fit these instead of their own!

This is exactly what I had my dealer do for mine when it went in for warranty repairs.

I can vouch that these are a top notch product Thumbs Up 2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone

That would do it..i would add some grease or acf grease as well....can you buy those or are you nifti with the scissors'

No, I made them from 2mm rubber sheet. It was slightly more involved than just scissors but still quite easy. Darren

Hi,

Rosco had his main dealer fit a set of these window blocks, and he’s kindly let me share some pics, so here is what the finished article looks like:

Glad to hear it!!

As a pre-Christmas offer they are available for £60 a pair, including gaskets and postage to normal UK mainland addresses, happy to charge cost to other destinations.

Thanks

Paul

Very tempted to order as the ones on my low mileage MY16 are bubbling and though LR agree to fix it has taken them five months to do nothing Banging Head

I think I would like to leave them unfinished and they would be a great contrast with a Corris truck and black roof, but what wax would you suggest to prevent fading Question Rob

Agree with CarMan...I think they'll look just the ticket on my black & grey XS; as for main dealers, I've no intention whatsoever in letting them loose with a spray gun near my Defender, especially as the blocks will bubble up again.

As for wax, I suspect any good stuff will do & I also intend to smear ACF50 grease on the gaskets before fitting.

On a slightly separate note, does anyone out there know the torque settings for the block bolts? Since 1973...S1, Air Portable's, Defender's, but only my Wolf TUL HS GS remains
