Any news anyone on the fitting of front 'improved' door seals (LRO 29309)?
Would welcome news of fitment/mod required.

I will let you know when mine turn up Thumbs Up

I can tell you that there are a couple of fixings into the side of the door that look like they will need drilling for.

I am not sure if all the fixings are supplied as they did not show on microcat so it could be a while before I get them fitted.

I would expect them not to be...what do they look like?

Just looked on my microcat (admitedly its last update was Sep 2010) and it shows the same rivets as used in the old style seals...what version are you using? Mike

Mike

We had a look on the latest version at the dealers and it only shows the old style fixings as well. The new seals are shown OK but only old type fixings.

There are at least two side fixings which are not applicable to the old style seal and these are not shown so may be included - the parts guy had a good look at the ones fitted to the new defender and said this may be the case - I will find out when they arrive !

Just picked my new seals up - £61.20 for the four and looks like money well spent Thumbs Up

Fixing is by press in studs, all supplied, so looks like a job of drill the holes, paint the bare metal and fit.

That is this weekend sorted out Laughing

Not the best thing to take a picture of !


Click image to enlarge

The small black flaps you can see also have black studs in for side fixing. One front and one back shown.

I did a quick check earlier and they did appear to be the same spacing - as far as LR tolerances go !

It looks like it is just a job of drilling holes in each door for the front and rear side fixings - plus waxoyl Mike Thumbs Up
