My daughter and her 90 were here for a visit last weekend. She said something happened recently and as she did not want to alarm us she only told us about it on her visit home. Seems the driver's door window was smashed in. The 90 was parked in a quiet farm where she was and she has no idea how it happened. Anyway a second hand window was sourced locally and herself, the boyfriend and his father who happened to be there opted to put it in them selves. She said the hardest part was removing the plastic surround on the door push lock button on the top left of the door card. (Land Rover call this an "Escutcheon").
Her future father inlaw who drives trucks kept saying during the operation,"This is so simple!". They did hit a snag. He said that one of bolts was imperial and he had no imperial spanners with him. My daughter disappeared and returned with hers. When we bought her the 90 I also bought her tools, both metric and imperial socket sets and spanners among other things. Her future father inlaw was very impressed with this. A/ that she had tools and B/ that she had both metric and imperial. Well with a Land Rover you never know. Anyway they got it sorted but are non the wiser as to how it broke in the first place. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel 1992 110 200tdi csw -Zikali 2008 110 2.4 tdci csw-Zulu 2011 110 2.4 tdci csw-Masai |

I had my landy in the garage, went out to it and all was fine, about an hour later heard a bang, went in the garage couldn't see anything, next morning discovered the rear window shattered, no good reason other than it decided to fail!! DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,
I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy |

I had a similar thing happen with my old 90. Came home from work one day to find this:
 Click image to enlarge Whilst I did report it to the police, there was no evidence that it was actually a break in attempt and the glass just disintegrated as soon as I touched it. There are such things as glass inclusions that can cause these spontaneous failures - I've experience of something similar on a large glazed building that I'm involved with through work - but it seems oddly specific to affect Defenders.
