    Roof and rear panel DAMAGE.

    Hi, today while the mrs was directing me reversing the camper trailer under the house we just moved into, I hit the low floor with my pride and joy. It hit in the top corner where the roof is folded down over the rear panel just above the left corner of the rear door. After a million expletives and a dummy spit, I thought it was the end of the world. It has folded the roof panel back about an inch. It's a 2003 defender. Is this easily fixed? Can it be fixed? End of my world? I wish I could lay full blame on mrs but I suppose I have to take some blame.

    Roof and rear panel DAMAGE.

    I would imagine it could easily be fixed if not you should easily be able to source a new roof and unbolt the old one and put the new one on if you have damaged the side panel with the small oval window in it that's easily replaceable as well only issue with that is you would have to get colour matched. It's certainly not the end of the world

    its totally wrecked now, even if you try to repair it, it will leek and always remind you of your now ex. i mean she never backed the kids into the garage door did she so why did she do it to your defender? some relay latent phyco issues there! hope you sleep with one eye open?

    post some pics, fire the wife, ( not like you need one now) buy a new defender. give me your old one

    Sounds like it is still within factory specs
    Leave as is so you can repeatedly tell the story in front of missus
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    Personally, I'd just leave it as is. I reckon you could get it looking pretty right if you attacked it with a hammer and dolly though.
