Sunroof has got a really bad leak
Looks like it is the rubber seal which has inexplicably managed to get a fold in it and now wont seal and channels water directly on to the passenger seat base. 
Contemplating getting a whole new roof without the sunroof to get rid of all the leaks in one go but the sunroof is part of what makes it a genuine CSW so I'm a bit torn now. I read somewhere that Vaseline is good for rubber seals? a big dollop may just be enough to hold back the tide Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197 Self confessed mileage hunter  |

I remember when I was ordering my 110 and ticked the sunroof - the chap at the dealership went "not a good idea sir, just another place where it's likely to leak". I was brand new to Defenders back then...still ordered one. MY15 Aintree 110 SW - for sale - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic82781.html

I have RI on my 110, though these are Chinese Hoo-Flung-Dung work lights. I covered the lenses with original cut up defender fog n reverse lenses.

They're readily available over here. Do you buy locally, or have stuff shipped from here?

Finally go round to fitting the swingaway wheel carrier that I bought second hand twelve months ago last Saturday, well you can't rush these things
It's only a Bearmach/Britpart type one but there were a few issues with attaching it to my motor. I've doubled up the reverse and fog lights and the bottom bracket fits where the second NAS style reverse light sits so I had to reposition that plus fill the hole in. The bumperettes were no issue as they use the same mounting points so a pair of longer bolts sorted that out but it was the fact I have a heavy duty Brownchurch roofrack with the stays that bolt to the tub capping so a bit of creativity with the 9" grinder and the welder rearranged the fixing point. It now bolts to the top pivot point and looks quite tidy even if I say so myself. |
