What an easy mod Doc! Definitely going to have to do this on my Defenders!

Cheers!

Nice one Doc.

👌🏻🙏🏼

Did you install the rear folding seat, if so, do you have a video on it? And do you know what make it is? I’m thinking about getting one, thank you in advance

[@thedoctorsgarage]

Hey- I didn’t- they were fitted before but they are exmoor trim - really easy to fit as juts have two threaded bolts that run underneath the tub. I guess it would be a case of measuring up where the holes are and drilling through

[@nickhealy419]

I think the “5 way stretch” material that is popular for van conversions might be what you want. EBay/Amazon etc

[@thedoctorsgarage]

Will take a look Thanks

[@Spanneranchor]

Brilliant advice, see crappy seals everyday in the garage. Would have gone gen seals myself for not alot more money. Good to seal the gaps front and rear with black silicone smoothed off with a cloth with a dash of white spirit on it. Gen seals about £18 each Inc vat

[@thedoctorsgarage]

Cheers- didn’t know genuine ones were only that much more

[@malcolmscott4150]

Fiddle job that I thought would be a tough job to fit but voila done 👍

[@thedoctorsgarage]

Cheers!

[@michaelusher3846]

That was easy. The door cards wave effect could be sorted out by using a aluminium sleeve between the door frame and the card to stop the bolt from squashing the door card and keeping the distance constant.

[@thedoctorsgarage]

Good idea 👌🏻

[@richardtedeschi9290]

I've put black putty inside the two gaps at the ends of the sill to avoid water dripping inside the window, does it work? Who knows, hopefully 😂

[@thedoctorsgarage]

Good idea to be fair- I may do something similar

[@bradb726]

Audiofile incar do a really good spongey rubber matting that looks really good in the rear of the defenders

[@thedoctorsgarage]

Nice will check it out thanks

[@stephendawson9947]

Hi Doc, A great upgrade, but can i ask about the powerfull door trims, there seems to be some bulging, is this the same on both sides? have you asked if this is correct?

[@thedoctorsgarage]

It’s only the driver side and no haven’t spoken to them yet but need to!

[@JoshSchumann]

Windscreen wipers. For sure you must be able to find a decent set of replacement wipers for a defender. I refuse to believe that with all the upgradable parts wiper blades / motors arent all over the place.

[@thedoctorsgarage]

I’ve got new wipers - Bosch make some good ones

[@mylesmooney7505]

Class easy job

[@thedoctorsgarage]

Cheers!

[@willnorth3199]

hi, i thought about buying a defender as my first car. im 17 as i think its the best car in the world, what are your thoughts?

[@thedoctorsgarage]

It would be great - I just think you have to check out the insurance

[@jerrygreene7139]

Do you have any idea the price difference between these and genuine? Just curious. Nice job!

[@georgetaylor500]

I fitted genuine seals all round to my defender recently. Purchased genuine waste seals for £16 each excluding vat from LR Parts Ltd

[@jerrygreene7139]

That’s good to know. Sometimes genuine isn’t super expensive. I’ve had some bad luck buying from eBay. I think I would always check genuine first. No disrespect meant to the good doctor!

[@martinbradshaw692]

I just fitted a new windscren cowl to my Discovery 4. I got the part from my local LR main dealer. It was over £30.00 cheaper than I could get from ebay, Amazon etc and was available for collection next day.

[@georgetaylor500]

Agreed. The waste seals I didn't think were particularly expensive. The rear door bottom seal was £21 excluding VAT which I also thought was reasonable. However, £112 excluding VAT for a pair of front door seals and £50 excluding VAT for the rear tailgate seal did make me cry a little inside. However, I previously fitted Britpart seals to the doors and tailgate and they were so hard and useless - If it rained or I washed the car the water poured in - Always worth paying the extra for the genuine ones.

[@thedoctorsgarage]

😂 no disrespect taken!

[@joshmorris6130]

I used carpet from lucari solutions for my rear tub. Looks smart and pretty easy to install. Only issue is it's black. Can send you photos if you want to see how they look?

[@thedoctorsgarage]

Hey Josh that would be great- was it a pre cut sheet? Could you send it on my Instagram? @The_Doctors_Garage

Just bought on E-bay … you where correct, only 33 pounds but … sending it to Europe 🇪🇺 cost EXTRA 😂 Thx Brexit 😝 Overall cost in Euros 💶 is just over 60 👍👋✌️
