rear door seals and back door hinges.
Hi All,

I need to buy the door seals for the rear passenger doors.
I was going to buy the bearmach ones but was told that the rubber is hard and doors wont shut properly, has anyone got any experience on this.
I don't really want to pay 70£ for each one at land rover.
The back door hinges need replacing also, any idea where i can get them in the color i need?

Thank you

Fabio

I had the same dilemma, went with the Bearmarch ones and indeed they are useless. Doors will not close without an almighty slam. The length between the welds is just all wrong.

Hi Stiff,

Thanks for the reply.
I Bought the bearmach one anyway.
Hopefully it will do for what i want, because since it went to land rover for the repairs at the end of the corrosion warranty,
one of the back doors never really closed properly i have had it off and tried everything to get it right but haven;t been able to.

The cheap seals just do not fit, I tried the Bearmach ones and Exmoor Trim ones both where over an inch too big across the top! Dont waste your time and money but genuine LR ones.

As for hinges you cant buy them coloured. You have to paint your own or have someone paint them for you (roughly £350 for 4). That or buy aftermarket ones (£500+ for 4) Instagram @defender_ventures

Hi Bankz

I have bought them. But I do believe they’ll be rubbish.
My worry is the door doesn’t shut properly and if buy the genuine ones they’ll be chewed by the door again.
That is what happened to the one that is there, since Land Rover Yeovil messed about with it.

Then you need to adjust your doors. Time consuming process

Ill be surprised if they fit Instagram @defender_ventures

I know, I’ve tried but it didn’t go very well.
Thank you.
