Rear door - window seal and wiper

GreenLove · Jan 19, 2012

Hi all,

Stripping the rear door soon and the black seal that fits between the window and the inner securing trim needs replacing. Anyone know what this trim is called and where I can find it online?
Rear wiper motor needs replacing, but at £60+ a pop I'm not too enthused about swapping it. Never owned a Landy before and was wondering if the rear wiper was actually of any use - does anyone use it regularly enough to think "phew, glad I've got that!" ?

All the best.

The seal I think is called a 'glazing strip' - part number 78159

Rear windscreen wiper - don't have one but have seriously considered fitting - most the time I'm completely reliant on the door mirrors as the rear window becomes impossible to see through very quickly!

I've got one, but I wouldn't say its the end of the world if mine stopped working

Is that because of rain or misting up? You see I could keep the demister and dump the wiper. Station, may I ask, where do you get your part numbers because having the part number for the glazing strip saves me loads of searching time?

Hmmm, torn between really. If only that motor was cheaper than it is.

Thanks chaps.

More due to mud and crud on the outside!

Part numbers - the mods created a sticky using some links I found shortly after buying my Defender, as I found it far easier to search google by part number than name.

Basically exploded parts diagrams for Defender 90 and 110 - they're at the top of the first page in this Defender section titled 'Part Numbers and Paint Colours'

http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f7/part-numbers-paint-colours-138302.html

Just click on the link for either 90 or 110 - you're then presented with about 10 or so links covering chassis, engine, axles etc.

I think the same info as on Microcat, but just put into pdf pages by some kind soul called Retroanaconda - http://www.retroanaconda.com/

Got the rear seal, but was wondering how you'd fix it in place whilst refitting the window? No nails, perhaps?

I used Dum Dum sealant when fitting glass into my new rear door..
