Replacing side window

Ive been having some grief with the drivers window channel, Tried to fix it back onto the glass today using sealant but the channel is too far gone i reckon.

The d2 channels come with the glass and aint available on their own, i dont know if a d1 channel will fit these are quite cheap on fleabay,

Other option ive got is replace the glass with a secondhand one around £30ish.

2 questions
Does anyone know if the d1 channel is the same as the d2? ive measured the distance between the 2 bolts that hold it on the regulator 475mm.

How does the complete window glass come out?

Steal one next time you're in Tesco car park

What part do you mean

I think I had sort of the same problem with the back door
I fabricated one from a piece of thin galvanised metal I found lying around
The original crumbled when I took the top of the for of to repaint it

The window lift channel, Dont wanna bodge it

It was the quarterlight channel, I replaced as it crumbled when I removed the window.





Still think you could fabricate one

What page is that on?

Cheers bigee, I tried a fix this morning with gutter seal but seems that sealant is a semi non setting

Just tried it again with a grab adhesive if that dont work it looks like buying a new channel, Ive found on another forum that the d1 had 3 part numbers for the lift channel and they reckon the latest number fits the d2.

ALR8022

Island are quoting that it fits up to a 2004 model - result

Window Lift Channel ALR8022 Island 4x4 - Specialists in Land Rover and Range Rover Parts and accessories for all models. UK and worldwide mail order.

The d1 part #ALR8022 fits, ive just finished doing it and apart from it being fiddly wasnt too bad. I took some pics so may do a how to.
