Just bought an 89 defender(my first defender project) with the sunroof plated over, was thinking of putting a new sunroof in. will a disco sunroof make a good replacement? Or what would you do?

It's probably been plated over because they are famous for leaking

You can pick up a decent roof without the hole for the sunroof cheaply. I would replace the one yOu have with one that has no hole. Sunroof leak badly!

Mine came with a sunroof in the back as is was used for lamping. Always leaked so i replaced it with galv steel, tiger seal and pop rivets. Best thing i did.

I beg to differ, my 2001 td5 90 has a factory fitted sunroof and has never leaked, water ****'s in everywhere else though.

My 1988 Ninety's sunroof doesn't leak but condensation collects on the inside of it and drips on the passenger's head - could be worse, could be on the driver's side
