Ian_Fearn Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I'm trying to locate a new windscreen surround to bulkhead seal for a 96 Defender. I've now had 2 replacements seals, both of which have been too thin. The original seal is ~8.5mm thick (left on the pic) Both new seals are ~4.8mm thick. The part number i'm ordering is FAJ100020. Neither have been genuine parts. Has anybody else had similar trouble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Now you have two, stick one on top of the other? Not come across the problem myself though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_Fearn Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 I've been in contact with SP Landrover who supplied one of the seals, this was the response..... FAJ100020 has been superceded to the thinner LR055345 type not too sure as to why as the gap between the top of the bulkhead and the windscreen frame is the same on all years, we have sold a lot of them with no problem and i have personally fitted a lot of them from early c reg models to 08 puma models However when fitting, because land rovers leak so badly even when new, i will stick the seal to the top of the bulkhead using the self adhesive back it comes with and then before fitting the windscreen frame on top, i run a bead of sealant along the top of the seal (such as tiger seal) so that you then have a good seal both top and bottom of the seal.
