I thought, maybe, someone might know of an "off-the-shelf" retro-fit fly screen for the rear sliding windows. Ideally I'd like to put something on em that could be left open and the local toe-rags would struggle to get in.

Any sugegstions or alternatives welcome.

I did this years ago, I removed the black rubber that goes around the rear window, and used normal flyscreen cut to the shape of the complete window (with 1-2cm extension) and pushed the black rubber back in trapping the flyscreen over the window .. its been there now for 5 years.. keeps the flys out, and also gives another layer of tint, making it cooler ... perfect solution

Hi, when I think back to my stage 1 V8 wagon, called RUSSEL,it had a tropical roof ,with vents that opened from the inside . It was such a simple ,design but it worked .I read about a fella who fitted one on his 110 in Saudi Arabia where the temperatures often reach 40+.

I don't think Landrover ever offered the tropical roof as an extra but I am sure that there would be a market for them.

What I have done with my 110, Ruby, is put 25mm of polyester under the roof lining. This works a treat and also helps with sound proofing. I must admit it was a lot of work to do it but worth it. The front flaps also open and with the window combination is a good and simple option.
