The issue is airflow for rear passengers - backseats and jumper seats. The louvres on the door windows will cause the air to flow out the window before reaching the backseat passenger. I really wish that there was a better sliding window design. Pickup canopy windows seem to not have this problem...!
Fair point although I have removed the rear bench seats now so is plenty of ventilation for second row passengers with their windows open. Plus I have the sunroof for more airflow. And the front vents. And the gap around the rear door!!
I like them. I have always wanted to do this, but at nearly Au$1100 plus shipping and the fact that I would want to do it to both Defenders makes it a bit prohibitive.
Good video but I placed an order with LR yesterday so missed the code :-( But wait there must be something else I need (ok perhaps that should have been want!) 🙂
What are your thoughts on fitting series lll doors to later Defenders? All my doors have rotted and are unrepairable. They are 26yrs old and the cost of replacement defender doors are ridiculous. 4 galvanised series doors are half the price of defender doors. Benefits are more room for driver & 2nd row passengers as not window winding mechanism.
I really like the look of the Series split doors on a Defender. I had a very early Defender 110 country and it had all four split doors and look great.
Nice job Fraser - I have used VGS/Masai in the past - excellent. Thanks for the great content 🙂
Can't wait to see the stereo system... I am currently debating on what to do with my sound system
Thanks for the code just saved around £50 after comparing other prices elsewhere too loving the videos too

so there is like no ventilation left in the back of the car? I don't get it. Just put new seals in and its silent.
Not in the very rear. Except for the gaps around the rear door!
Where can i get these fitted in the uk ?
Would that window fit rear truck cab window
No, but VGS do a dedicated one piece truck cab glass which is great.
This is removing all the character from the Defender we all love 🤔😀 Just buy the new Waitrose shopping trolley instead
