Rear side windows leaking
Hi All

Just discovered my new landy (1998 TD5) has a leaking rear side window....it is a conversion from a van i think. How easy is the leak to fix, the window is a bit loose, does it need removing and re fitting ? if so any info from anyone on how best to do it ?

you could drill out the pop rivets and re-seal it.

Here's a video of the 'start to finish' job, but the but at the end shows the (re-)fitting. I followed this to the 't' to do mine and it worked well.

You and me both. Mine leaks from where the upright in the middle of the window is attached, I think it gets through the screw. I have resealed around the outside of the frame and I think that has reduced some of the leaks, 1999 Defender TD5 110

The seal ring in the video was part of the 'deluxe' kit (remembering this was not a genuine LR part!).

I used ordinary bathroom silicone sealant if I remember right (I had a tube in the garage at the time) and it has never leaked!

I also found this series of videos of how to replace the actual rubbers in the window! Not sure if this is an original LR part or not (and it's a bit patronising!)

Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N28VXk5JMDM
Part 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4KsGKrcDhA
Part 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aGUAPodI0U
Part 5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiJzZanNavo

The window kit I used was Britpart (yeah I know) DA4033 and you can buy the seal ring as part DA4032-3SEAL

There is only one sealant that I would highly recommend and have used a lot of:-

Sikaflex 29i is for me the best sealant available. If it's good enough for one of these....



It's more than good enough for one of these...
