Optimill 110 Window blocks

Hi

I'm replacing my window blocks on a 2016, 110 Utility, the window block I've taken off don't match the bolt pattern on the new Optimill window block, RH on both blocks

Is it the new blocks that are wrong or am I missing something 2016 Defender XS Utility by Urban Automotive

No you're not missing anything, you've been supplied with 2x RH blocks. They should be handed as per the top photo of the ones you've taken off.

You'll need to contact the supplier you got them from.

I had a similar issue but that was with OE style blocks.

Thanks guys, supplied in sealed bag from Flatdog, I'll give them a bell and hopefully get sorted, can believe how quick the window block corroded on a 2 year old car 2016 Defender XS Utility by Urban Automotive

hope You get the correct blocks. I was aware of this issue before I bought my new 2015 90. Kept them clean with acf50 and also loosened them when new and applied dinitrol behind and in the threads etc. Worked fine and still perfect. But I agree that it’s a joke how sometimes they just corrode so quickly.

Holes look completely wrong to me, they're central on the Optimill ones, where as they're heavily offset and as you pointed out handed on the originals.

If I'm not mistaken they should all be in a straight line. Is the bracket on the inside that they bolt to not straight?

No, the blocks are handed and the holes are off-centre. Darren
