...speaking as probably the only person on the planet with an original hardboard door cover, I can definitely state that; i) that cover looks much neater than mine ii) I have no friends as I've been married for over 30 years iii) I haven't touched a nice bottom in years (see no.2)

With the screen wash jet pull it through as you suggest and then put a blind grommet in the hole, take grommets out of the extra rhd/lhd spare wiper holes and fit 2 new jets, one on each side, add a T piece to the original pipe and plumb both of them in. Now you have 4 water jets with no drilling required. Did mine a month ago, cheap mod that works well.

I can vouch for that. Did the same with mine. Twin washer jets and much improved screen cleaning.

I put rubber tubes direct on the wipers and got some special clip on jets - perfect for here as I was constantly knocking off the original jet when it was covered with ice and snow

That door trim looks pretty good. They're not as easily available, and they are more difficult to remove for future maintenance, but some grey plastic trim clips would look a bit smarter than stainless screws. I don't know if they'd be too brittle in the cold Canadian winter, though. Mudstuff.co.uk make some good door trims, amongst other interior trims and a range of other fittings. They do a nice US sources rubber strip to replace the felt seals in the side windows too - just make sure you're sitting down before checking the price for those!

I think the newer style grill and headlight surrounds would look really nice but I can imagine they’ll be quite expensive

Hi Mike, What's the brand of anti-rust treatment you use to fill the spaces? This current series of videos is a real help because I'm doing the same work on my Defender at this moment, and they help guide my work!

If the rear door still has the original door latch release will the cover on the new door card need to be completely trimmed away to allow access to the original door latch release?

No = this is for most Defenders - this door had the additional Dovetail for the spare wheel support -most do not have this It is not for a Td5

Hi Mike, where is your spare wheel going? I didn't notice any fixings on either the bonnet or rear door. Simon.

There is an original mount on the rear door, but that may get an upgrade to a swing away depending on what wheels are going to be fitted

I just replaced the windscreen seal on my defender this last weekend. Never done it before, it took me about 2 hours. Quite easy, the trick is to start the cord pull on the middle of both sides and pull them evenly. The common way of starting the cord in the bottom middle doesn't work on the defender's windscreen. This is a good article about this job. forums.lr4x4.com/topic/10238-defender-windscreen-removal-replacement/

My problem is this is the last laminated tinted window I have in stock - if I break it I have to buy a crate of 10 as they cannot be shipped by FedEx individually due to risk of damage, and 10 windows are heavy so then they have to be air freighted $$$$!!! The ironic thing is the glass is cheap to buy - but no one stocks them in Canada - not even the dealer

If it were mine, and I had the screen frame out, The I do them on my upholstery table which is padded - I lay the frame on the glass and string it in - you need at least a 1/4 inch cord and bags of WD40 - works a treat, but his window frame is siliconed in at the top and painted over so I cannot do it
Alpine window fitting on steroids!
