Recommendations for door, boot and sliding window seals.
Hi everyone. Do any of you have experience and recommendations for door and window seal replacements for a very dusty, arid climate? I sense that mine have become a little brittle and dust ingress is defo an issue. Regarding the sliding window felts, there are discussions about using trim from Woolley’s. Is this worth doing or would you keep things cheap with simple felt replacement?

While I’m at it - cabin filter. Anyone have experience of the Devon 4x4 aftermarket idea? https://www.devon4x4.com/d44-defender-cab-filter-silver.html Got to help reduce dust by generating a little cabin over pressure, I guess, so long as the system down wind is airtight…

Thank you! Puma 2.4 2010

I spoke to these guys about the sliding windows in my Puma 90 CSW - https://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/ - they recommended trim number 317 (based on over 50 Landrover owner orders).
I also spoke to Segal Motor Trimmings who sent sa.es for KR 521and KR 356 - they sent sames but sadly one was to large one was too small.
I will order from Woolies as I get to sliding window channels on my list of updates! 2009 Defender 90 CSW 2.4 TDCI.

I went for genuine parts when I changed the door seals on both my pumas, not cheap but fit and seal well.
Somewhere on here is a video showing the difference between genuine and aftermarket seals.

Genuine are the best, as mentioned there is a video on here some where showing the difference, not cheap but they do last, that said…..I am currently wild camping on the Spanish Pyrenees a, today was a very very dusty track day and still I’ve managed to get a layer of dust inside even though the windows and vents were closed.

I used Bearmach front door seals and they've been excellent !

Same here, Bearmach seals on all four doors have been absolutely fine!

Doesnt matter how good the seals are when the door and door frame are a different shape though! Rolling with laughter 02' 110 TD5 Double Cab Rebuild Thread

I also used Bearmach ones front and second row. Fit was fine and they were only about 12/13 quid each (during a sale).
