    CSW Gullwing into 2015 Puma Defender

    Today I braved the cold weather and installed one side of the CSW Gullwings.
    I have a 2015 110 Defender.
    The instructions I got arent that great, and I'll paste some more details pics and instructions now that I know what I have to do tomorrow to do the other one. Its not a simple job.

    Anyway, here are the results of the left side.

    OK I finished it today.
    The hardest job is getting the window out, its really stuck in good. Ive got skinned knuckles, and despite my best efforts there are a few new scratches on the car.

    Anyway this is how you do it, or how I did it.

    1. Remove the trimming
    For me, I had to remove my Cargo barrier first.
    Then there are 3 plastic rivets that you have to pull out, they come out easy enough using a decent trimmer tool (like a back of the hammer claw, but plastic) - The Seatbelts DONT have to be removed, just push the trim aside.


    2. Remove these plastic felt covered clips
    They sit in between the window channel and the outside wall. Didnt count them, but about 15 each side. You need to slide them to the corner, then pull them out with some needles node pliers - sometimes they fall out by themselves.


    3. Tape up the window with masking tape


    4. Now the hard part,
    you have to get under the window and scrape that glue/silicone/rubber sticky stuff out. You cant get to it from inside the car.


    5. I found this putty knife the best, but you cant get into the top using it, you have to use a flat one.


    6. Heat Gun make it easier


    7. Sticky stuff coming out


    8. Inside Rubber


    9 Missing nut - whats that rattle?
    Notice that a nut was missing under this bolt, fixed it up but where did it go?
    Was it even there in the first place?


    10. Window out


    11. Get rid of the tabs
    There are 4 corner tabs that need to be removed, I used the dremel, or you can use a file.


    12. Razor blade and clean
    I used a razor blade and metho soaked in my old undies. It was fun to chase the kids around with my ex-undies


    13. Put the window in
    Its a tight fit, but when I did the one yesterday it wouldnt fit. I had to trim off 1-2mm off the top part of the cars panel. I used the Dremel for that. Today this one fit in.


    14. Rivetting time

    Yesterday I used a small "normal rivet gun. Today I bought a 400mm riviet gun. Much easier.


    15. Silicone up from the inside.
    Im sure I took a photo, but its gone. I Used a flexible type clear silicone.

    16. All done

    Well done mate. I've had one installed (by Daniel at Mulgo) on the left hand side of my 110. I'm leaving the right hand side standard for now, so the mutt can poke his nose out

    Great thread fellas.

    Hi Nige.
    Do you mind if I ask how much fitting costs?
    I'm going to purchase 2 gull wings soon, probably from The Expedition Center, and really can't be bothered with the hassle of fitting them. I need to work out if I want solids or glass.
    Thanks for any info.
