Rusted Door Repair Hack | Land Rover Defender

asimplyfab.life/ A nasty rusted Land Rover Defender door repair - a hack that is not exactly to spec. Most owners of (older) Land Rover Defenders will be familiar with a rusted door or at the very least the oxidation along the bottom. Is there a simple way to repair this (albeit temporarily)? Perhaps there is a 'hillbilly' repair hack out there... Our reporter on the ground investigates a mystery that has been thirty years in the making.
What happened to the rest of the Defender door! Replace both inner and outer door handles at the same time: • BOTH Door Handles Brok...

Repair? I thought the doors were supposed to be that way.

😜😝👌

[@awalk5177]

Here in UK we can buy the replacement channel to replace that bottom section of the doors and weld in the new steel to the frame after cutting out the corroded section. This summer I have both my door bottoms to do. There still needs to be some glue or sealant between the frame and the aluminium skin to stop the electrolytic corrosion, but a good repair should be good for 20 years when done properly and treated with internal wax or corrosion inhibiter. It is cheaper to do that than buy replacement doors which may have corrosion started already. New doors are very expensive.

your way is the propper way, bodging it is a waste of time imho.

[@chriswalker4272]

That screwdriver is having an identoty crisis, and the door's thinking " Oh no, another bodge job!, please just weld in a new repair section, like proper Landy folk have done fir decades." Its not a ******* space shuttle 🤣😂🤣

Why Land Rover never galvanised it’s chassis bulkhead’s and door frames, they would have solved one of the biggest problems with their vehicles.

Poor Defenda! I hope you get a new door from somewhere!

The Previous Owner! That’s your clue right there!

The old girl has had a hard life - Mauritania to Mongolia, so can't really complain😏

The microphone 🎤 working really well, and my kinda fix👌✌️from Steve near Chester England where the Roman's once lived, and pete still does (I 🤔.

[@jeremycooke7102]

Lotus glue their car chassis together.. Good quality glue is probably stronger than welding.. Great video!

[@ASimplyFabLife]

Cheers! Good point

Cracking job but I bought two front doors and a rear.

[@tomsimonis]

How to prevent this from happening?

[@vic6820]

Water gets in via the window "seal". Silicone is the answer.

[@ASimplyFabLife]

I did replace the window rubbers at the base of the windows a year ago, and checked the drainage holes at the lower door edge - but I guess the damage was already done🧐. Another bit of design excellence from Solihull😅? But Dakota has had a hard life through the years, so can't complain too much😉

[@tomsimonis]

@@ASimplyFabLife Just started to fix my RRC. I haven't had a look yet on the internals of the doors. Hope they are fine.
