Anyone ever renewed these on a Disco 2. If so, where did you get them and how much. Got rust poking its ugly head up from the rubbers. Plan was to strip down, sand and paint. But curious to see if renewing is cost effective. cheers.
 
I'd be interested as well. New parts are about £200 each, so I'm looking at removal and repaint later this year. They are actually quite easy to remove.

Only think I'm not sure of is the colour. I'm thinking of a matt black but I'm not sure if that's the original LR colour.

Cheers!
 
If they are £200 it will be a rub and paint job then. Lookin forward to gettin it done tho. My eye is drawn to that wee rust blob every time i walk past it.:mad: Cheers guys.
 
Mine are the same...had a look at Haynes but nothing in there on removing them, anyone got any pointers or a how -to?
 
Just ordered some new panel clips off flea bay, in case I break some gettin them off. Hopefully get them for the weekend and get it done.
 
I took off one of the rear frames to repair a faulty lock, and they're really quite easy to remove. The main thing you need is good Torx drivers/sockets. There are 3 or 4 large ones which were very tight, and 5 or 6 in all - one was inside the door and not immediately obvious. I imagine using the wrong tool, you may struggle.

On the door clips, I found that carefully done, none broke. They are the two part type which will separate rather than break.

Recommended way is to take glass out with frame. Remove door card, and clips holding seal on top of door. Loosen bolts holding bottom window rail to regulator - wind the window down until you can get the socket on them. Wind window up, and tape glass to frame. Disconnect glass from regulator, undo all the Torx bolts holding in the frame and lift out frame complete with glass. It's fairly heavy with the glass there, and then separate once out.

Good Luck!
