Hi all Me again! Recently fitted canvas cover which has been great but during recent hard rain noticed that water is spraying in to the rear from the eyelet of the rear flap either side all over my new rear seats. 🫣 A minor inconvenience but wonder if there should be a rubber grommet or...

Hi Sprie. Unfortunately I’m not well versed enough to help wire it in but I’ve attached some photos of mine to help you locate the correct position. Hope this helps.

Great thanks I'll take a look

Thanks woody. Self tappers and cup washers on order. I think I'll get the riveter going this weekend as well

They did suggest silicone if necessary 👍😂

They did suggest a bead of bathroom silicone if necessary 👀

Whilst I’m here…anyone fitted canvas door cards? I’m thinking self tapping screws and small pilot holes through both canvas and door frame?

That’sa good point- I ignored the riveting point as wasnt part of their fitting instructions video. I did speak with them earlier today though and it seems to be an optional element- original was riveted but you see so many that aren’t. I think a strip of neoprene tape for extra peace of mind

Thanks anaconda. Useful pointers. Would a foam seal be waterproof though? I was thinking of getting some to stop my seat box cover from rattling in any event 😂

Hi all Just fitted a set of Exmoor trim hood sticks. Was previously a hard top which I removed. There was no seal on the top of the windscreen itself and as such the sharks tooth header rail has bolted directly to the top of the windscreen - this doesn’t seem right to me and seems an obvious...

Ha yes I don’t fancy doing that to mine to be honest. I’m too precious about it as it is 🤣. I’m surprised no one has made a one piece seal specifically for the series landys - much easier to swap over roof between hardtop and canvas etc for summer than drilling out rivets everytime

Hi all Slowly working my way around all the bits and pieces I need to change/replace/improve/burn/bin etc on my S3 but one of the items recently replaced by a local garage (door seals) I’m really unhappy with. The standard one piece seals seem to actually be more for 90/Defender and do not fit...

Ah ok that’s great. Means one less thing to try to paint 🤣

Evening all. I have a late (1982) Series 3. I understand that the correct headlight bezel colour is silver on these latter models and not body coloured. I have bought and some replacement bezels which are bare aluminium but I assume these should be painted? Any idea on the correct silver colour...

Thanks Tottot. Series 3 1982.

Morning all Happy Bank Holiday Weekend! In the hope that we may have some sunshine over the summer months I want to convert my hardtop to a canvas tilt. However I need a tailgate - ideally already in marine blue to try to match the patina of my existing paintwork. Does anyone have a spare...

Not that this is a job I’ve yet done on mine, but I’m told that a hub spanner works really well to get these on without damaging the cone. It is the right diameter to fit all around the lip so can then be tapped on equally around the hub

Thanks for the pointers. Found out that one of them is for the interior light 🫤. Randomly the one that blinks amber when it’s on as if I wouldn’t know that interior light was switched on 🤣. Still working on the other one though

That could be a good point-door tops aren’t the best and I’m planning on replacing them later this summer. I’ll do as you suggest and remove the striker plate and look at the hinges etc.

😬
