Thread: Flyscreen insert for sliding windows D110

I've thought of making something like this for the sliding rear window on my dual cab (same as the wagon side windows) or perhaps for the wind up rear windows. I was thinking fine security mesh with an edge the thickness of the glass so it sits in the track, and a section of window track on one end so that the window slides into it and locks it in place.

Another job for the list......

A cheap option would be the windowsox on the back doors. They will give you shade and ventilation, but the only security would be a visual deterent.

Mantec make internal windows guards for the rear.

Another alternative Landrover Tuning :: 2 Rear Door Air Vent for Defender 110

Open front bulkhead vents with added vents to back end to get a breeze through. I've seen generic vents put onto rear tub either side of the back door.

Then theres the land rover ones that went above door on back of roof , around 1989. They revised them with a rubber flap that could only be pushed outwards by air to stop dust/water being drawn in but I guess they continued to have issues with leaks so they were removed from 200tdi defender AFAIK.

I suppose given Australia's predominantly dusty conditions the best option would be to install a couple of closing vents at the rear that you can open when parked. If you dont like the idea of caging up your windows.

Thanks for all the replies.

As it has turned out it's not as hot as I though it would be having had a few hot days now. Put window sox on the rear doors though to shade The Spawn on longer journeys.

Cheers

Where did you get the window sox? Also have spawn...

I have been looking for something similar as well.
When I have the dogs in the back of the 110, I open up the rear windows.
But if I open them up too much the dogs stick there heads right out of the windows.
Henry looks like a cattle truck when they do this.
The Mantec inside security guards looks like they will do the job.
I have asked them for a delivery price.
