Another great video, this will save me so much money, and, more importantly, less frustration! I am looking forward to your rewiring one when you finally get your loom from Autosparks. Thank you.

Hi, great video, I'll use those seals when I do my series door tops, I have the idea to use sikaflex 212FC to bond the seals in place it's really good body sealant adhesive that sticks to anything, thanks Stewart.

Great stuff Craig. Would you know if the rear door seal fits the full door and cat flap set up ?

@retro.restorations Жыл бұрын

Thanks matt. I can't see any reason why it wouldn't but I'm not 100% on that I'll have a look at the one in the yard on Monday and get back to you on that. 🙂👍

@@retro.restorations I’ve just cleaned up the steel seal retaining strip which holds the same original flap seal over the door top. So I’m guessing it’s standard

Do you have experience in doing this with the 109? i.e middle doors? Also wouldn't it be better to try to insert a small washer through the hole where the rivet goes to allow a more secure / larger surface area for the rivet to go against? Great video!

@retro.restorations 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, I've never done it with middle row doors but I imagine it'll be a similar process. If you can get a small washer in without making a big hole it could work better but I've never had a problem without. Thanks for watching 🙂 👍

My drivers door ( and the rear door to a lesser extent) if I can see loads of daylight round it, then it’s on the catch and needs slamming again If I can only see a bit of daylight , it’s closed Good video mind, I might give that a go.

Thanks for the video. What brand of seals do you use? I've just paid a fortune for what I thought were genuine seals but there's no way the doors will ever close properly. Too rigid!

The rubbers do distort slightly but after a week or so they go back to shape and you can't tell. 🙂👍

Could you please post link to the seals please? I have an old series 3 Exmil, with replaced door seals. They are stiff and big. Must use a lot of force to shut tfe doors. My bet is this will make for a better seal and snugger fit. :)

@retro.restorations 3 жыл бұрын

There available from most land rover spares suppliers and ebay you just need to search land rover series 3 door seals if it comes up as a one peace seal or states that it fits a defender aswell then thats what you want but I'll see if I can find a good link🙂👍

Land Rover Series I, II, IIa and III 1948 - 1985, Land Rover Defender 1982 - 2016, the Land Rover you are working is a SERIES not a defender

@retro.restorations 2 жыл бұрын

I don't think you got the point of the video 🤔 I'm more than aware of the different land rovers but this video is about making a land rover defender door seal fit on a series landy as New series seals are extremely poor quality and don't fit. 🙂👍
