And nor should it. It's a completely different vehicle that isn't essentially hand built to a 30 (or even 50) year old design. Darren

most dont its just over time the seals and felts will go all cruddy causing them to shrink and fall apart causing the leak. on any td5 pre 54 i recon it would be best to change all seals ie alpine window seals windowscreen rubber etc because they all perish Thumbs Up

I have been contemplating if there would be any sense in removing the roof, sides and screen and rebuilding with new seals. However I have come to the conclusion that I would be wasting my time, as with the design of the vehicle there is bound to be movement between panels, and more leaks would eventually develop. 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV

David, a easy quick way which i have done before is take out the old gasket, loosen off the windscreen hinges as this makes life easier, then silicone the hole inside, by a new genuine gasket for below the screen and cut it in half place it back in just for a original show look and it will never leak again but still look dead original Thumbs Up CSK Automotive
