Land Rover SIIA windows

[R Cubed]

Can I have some help in rebuilding the sliding windows on SIIA doors, are all the runners and channels available and from where.

How do you do it as well !!!!!!!!!!!!

Its a long time ago I did mine but I belive the fabric channel are held in with self tapping screws. Can't remember where the channel came from but I might have use mini stuff. As for supply a L/R specalist?:-D

Window channeling is easy to get.Most independants stock it. About £3-£4 a metre.

If you can afford it get 'em ready glazed! Channel is available from most Landy part stockists but it is *** miserable stuff to try and fit.

The important bit is DON'T damage the top locks for the windows. They are rocking horse poo. The fastening is a small drill and self tappers. Trouble is when you drill into the fuzz you losse the place becuase the fuzz covers it.

Easy.........you use a scriber or other pointed instrument to locate the hole again

[Tony B]

Leave me alone you rotten S*D! Try reglazing a LWB Safari! Every time you pull the drill out from the black fuzz, after it has wrapped round the drill bit , the rest closes over the hole so you can't see......actually , with the minds on here, stop digging boy, the holes deep enough...:-D

Hello r3!

I bought new door tops and fabric channel from Paddocks (or was it Craddocks?), fitted it all together myself using the original glass. Two years later the corrosion was coming through on the channel and the doortops. What a load of s**t, not impressed!

As chrisg says use self tappers to attach the channels.

Military defender door tops!

 

Best modification I ever did to my Series III. Got a pair for £100, no rot and no moss ever again.

I know it's not original but who cares, no more drafts or drips!

Well a few less anyway.

[Stormin]

Oh and more room for your elbow out the window as the rear sliding part is wider at the bottom.

Definate bonus unless you have particularly small arms.

What's the difference in the military defender door tops then why no moss or rot as opposed to the series ones ?

 

Got any pics of them.

This using self tappers to fix the fuzzy channels in place is ok but has any one tried a type of sealer not maybe silicone but something similar would this work and may be keep more water out ?
