fearofweapons Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I am about to replace the heated rear windscreen in my 1989 / 90 110 with a replacement heated rear windscreen. Having had a look on the parts list and the door itself am I right in thinking there is no actual seal on these but a thin bead of sealant between the glass and the frame? Would black tiger seal will do the job to replace the old seal? I must admit I'm not looking forward to trying to coax the old seal out. I suspect it might be quite stubborn - however I will try with some fresh fish and see if the seal goes for that! ;-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 no rubber seal, the glass sits on this stuff LR part 78159 glazing strip, comes in a roll https://www.lrdirect.com/78159-Glazing-Strip-Rear-Windows/ tiger seal or similar would do the job just as well.

fearofweapons Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 Thanks western much appreciated. As I have a tube of Tiger Seal I'll go with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Dumdum is very good for rear glass and has a thousand other hole filling/sealing uses. No Land Rover owner should be without. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaklander Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Yes dumdum is really good but I don't think it's made anymore. Think it's a victim of a tightening of things with nasty ingredients. I've got half a tin left so it gets used sparingly. I'd use rtv instead and I would think that in this case it's better than tiger seal which can be very hard to remove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snagger Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I use neoprene tape like that used for sticking number plates on. It is flexible enough to allow for thermal expansion and makes no mess. The excess is easily trimmed off with a knife after fitting. Like PU adhesive, it is hard to remove. Dumdum would allow easier removal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
