Zag
to be honest, it's the bottom of the doors that go but it's worth keeping a can of anti-rust handy for when the central locking solenoids fail and you have to remove the foam. i suppose the other option is to fully submerse the vehicle in waxoyl  Last edited by bpman on 10th Jun 2011 9:40pm.

Central locking IS the only thing I think is useful but if anything else goes wrong it's going back to simple mechanics - If a leccy window motor goes it's going back to the good old window winder
 Stupidest invention ever especially on a Defender, more weight more to go wrong  |

This isn't new to some of us
 I did mention that getting the membrane off in one piece wasn't easy in a post about accessing the door interior a few days ago. Getting a fine lance into the drain holes and any other easily accessible holes and squirting the anti rust of your choice will do, if you've got a decent spray head it ought to mist up and cover things in there nicely anyway. Leave the doors open to allow any drips to escape avoids runs on the paintwork and onto the side steps.
Same applies to the back door but there's no membrane over that so access to the inside is easy once you've removed the grab handle, escutcheon and door card. Steve.

Got a new replacement front bumper under warranty today, and as it was lunch time and I didn't want to wait an hour for the fitters to do it........ they graciously allowed me to do it myself, in the car park

Definately a trick to both removing the (i note slightly improved) mebrane and spraying all the unknown places you need to spray to protect key areas Mike |

Zag, you seem to be doing an admirable job of waxing your truck, its a wonder that you have not considered waxing your arms too

That has made me smile this morning .
......I am still missing mine- the thought that she is locked away in a ISO container somewhere on the sea upsets me
