Nice and short, to avoid slippage!

Hey Solar,

Done quite a few of these and that tool is a must have for Defenders - that said for the rear windows either side of the rear screen I would not take them out unless you have clear access. Make a very good template and fit them in situ. Reason being that they are so close to interior trim that you cannot get your hand in to re-fit the rubber without taking a load of car apart. You'll see what I mean if you get one with seats etc in the back - and it does not pop off as easily as the internal surround for that window.

Good luck
TT

I have this tool, covers almost all locking strip type gaskets.

Got mine from snap-on, makes it whole load easier. I always take out the windows either side of the rear screen although it does require the side panel (around the sliding windows) to be removed on newer vehicles - about 06-07 onwards i think...

only prob i came across once was when i removed the windows, i presumed the etching was on the outside of the glass and when i came to re fit them after tinting i found out that one glass had been replaced before at some stage with the wrong sided glass so the etching was on the inside on one side. had to retint it then.

Thats how they are.. Same with the old Mini's

bloody defenders, there's me thinking it had been replaced. As if they only make one glass for both sides. Them things are just thrown together like lego

OMG....

Make that 3 110's next week... I swear some lil buggers on a 110 defender forum, saying "hahaha we have found a sucker to tint our tractors...".... Coming from far and wide, hay bales en all!..

Poor guy

3hours, 46min...

Start to finish,

That was from Workshop Door Down

to Workshop Door Up!

Perfect job too.....

;-)

How did you do the sliders? Did you take them out? did you remove the seats in the rear shithouse area?

just curious, do you guys tint all of the glass on the sliders (tuck it right under the seal) or cut it to the seal and leave a strip of the glass untinted

Tom well done any pictures mate ??
do remember doing a defender & prayed it was my last, a right old pos Filthy inside and nearly new.
Admittedly didnt have a lock strip tool for the beads back then
thankfully had none since,
:> there is a god lol.

Took the sliders out..., and the seats in the %&$# house, I left in, I cleaned fook outta them, got old olfa in there, cleaned, sprayed, and took a thin slice off, gave it some heat so it was more giving, linted, and slid the bugger in, looked perfect, was supprised with the outcome... ;-)






No Pictures, I need to start taking pics, cos ive done some nice motors recently....

whats the crack with removing the sliders? You dont have too, but its a million times easier, and a billion x's cleaner, and you get a job which is 110%



do you have to drill all the riverst out or what? Yeah, drill out the rivets, and then re rivet back in, gotta be carefull not to scratch the paint work, time, and a steady hand is the key for these puppies

Please tell me more Tom?

Linted? - whats that? Paper towel.... ;) Pentagon term...

Do the rivets need painting again afterwards?

Nope, Rubber covers them lil bad boys!

so the cover flicks off nd you just replace the rivet?

do you just knock the old rivet into the body after drilling the head off?

I will gladly refer them all onto you ,have turned down two in the last month.I hate the agricultural pieces of crap

i may have one at the end of this week, i'll post pics up if i do it. not looking forward to it but the cash is just as green as the rest

Another 1 for me 2mrw!
