I agree with the above, I think you want to be removing the windows from the roof, they leak enough already without adding more places. I am currently looking for a solid 110 roof to get rid of the alpine windows and sunroof from the station wagon!

I've got three Defenders and like J said, "why not". The Defender I'm doing it to has had everything upgraded from a galv chassis, to a full leather interior. A 300 TDi beaut, and the tropical windows are the final detail.

Thanks for the Masai details.

Has anyone cut land rover roof to take alpine windows? If yes, is it best to use a small disc cutter, or a jigsaw?

It's these from a 94 Defender. Guess they're glued in. Well, hope they're glued in! Ha ha.

Thanks Tottot, I wasn't sure about the link rods and I may have made things worse because when I rebuilt the Defender I could only obtain door windows for the passenger door and the plastic connection blocks at the bottom of the window winder...

Hi, need your help with my Defender 90 because I've tried everything to stop my drivers door from opening to the anti burst position. The door is in excellent condition and does not move on its hinges. What I've noticed is that the TD5 door trim...
