2015 Defender 130 Puma 2.2 HCPU Keswick Green

Hood on, very pleased with it fit wise. Also added a Mota Lita wheel to give me a bit more cabin space. Both rear door shedders full of holes so in order to stop the carpets getting wet

Trip out with the kids down a nice Sandy Lane today

2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 DCPU Stornoway Grey

For info when you sort out the rear door water shedders you may want to add an additional home-made shedder.

I found my rear floor was always getting wet when it rained, from water entering the door between the glass and the door skin (even with good seals there is a significant ingress. After puzzling about the door drainage for a while, I realised that the factory shedder actually directs water inside the vehicle! I added some conventional shedders cut from builders' plastic sheet (the sort used for a DPM in concrete floors) and taped it inside the door to direct water to the drain holes right at the bottom. Since doing this I have had no water at all in the back.

Thanks for the tip. My shedders had loads of holes in where the previous owner had added checker plate bottoms to the door and mounted them with self tappers through the shedder...... plus the grommet for the window electrics

Will go get some plastic sheet, and more mastic!
