Big.Mike Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Hi All, This is a real long shot, my defender is missing it's finisher around the sunroof. It's really annoying, the roof lining keeps rubbing my head! I could spend the 70 quid, it would just hurt... Does anyone know a fix? Or perhaps have another product that would the same job? This it the part: AWR3320 INTERIOR SUNROOF FINISHER Cheers, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Smith Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 When I fitted a sunroof in my old 110, I used door seal rubber. I split it lengthways and then fitted the part that clips to the door frame on to the roof lining, then opened up the now split tubular part and tucked it into the groove in the sunroof, fixing it in place with a length of the rubber filling strip from a windscreen rubber. It cost me nothing as it was all leftovers from my kit car building days, but I remember it came from a place in Tunbridge Wells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big.Mike Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Okay, so i took the plunge and bought a awr3320 sunroof finisher for 70 quid... Nuts i know but I'm tired of Daisy looking rubbish... Now, it's a rubber strip that pushes into an aluminium extrusion, has anyone fitted one, cos i've just spent half an hour with my arms above my head and it won't go around the corners! Would warming it up help? Any help would be appreciated... Cheers, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big.Mike Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Well, installed it over the weekend. Secret ingredient = washing up fluid and plenty of it. You need to stick it on the top surface of the barb so that it can easily slide into the aluminium slot... (Washing up liquid in green): Start at the back by the handle push the barb into place. When you come to a corner just feed it around, it does flex out, but just keep going. The washing up liquid allows you to pull the strip into place so it fits. Go around with a flat headed screw driver and tuck the head-liner underneath where it pops out. Cheers, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
