does anyone know if the late 300 disco has a bonded screen fitted, if so would it replace a rubber fitted one?

All 300's are bonded the 200's use rubber.

Dunno how relevant it is but the 200 screen is about 10mm wider than the 300 one, otherwise dimensions are the same. Sold one to a bloke the other day he reckoned it would fit but haven't heard back as to whether it actually did or not.

Thanks for that, so that means the bonded screens can leak in?

Yes they leak in.
Old and newer models.
From the top, the sides and the bottom and if it's not leaking at the moment it soon will be.

I think it is already leaking in, just assumed it must be fitted on rubber, as i have never had a bonded screen car leak in before. Typical landrover "free" optional extra !

Mine has a small trip leak from the top, what's the cure please without taking it out, rebonding etc? Mastic bead?
Thanks

A decent screen fitter will cut and rebond for less than £100, well worth it for a proper job.... otherwise a few tubes of tigerseal should plug any gaps...

i have fitted a heated 300 screen to my 200, had to grind the roof seam and the bulkhead seam down as the 300 screen is taller and narrower.

i fitted it with my 200 seal, as above making room by grinding the vehicle, and then filling the outside gaps with a few tubes of sealant. as such it is now a bonded rubber gasket and it doesnt leak

Int-tresting , that......I have a 98 D1 with the wiring for a heated screen so I think I will look out for one on a breaker ....another wonderful non essential scheme to save me from doing the boring but essential maintenance ......
