Thread: How to stop Defender side windows rattling!

Then I saw the video below - a 15 minute job and a great finish!!
I bought some felted window channel from Clark Rubber and away i went - end of problem!

I use 10mm Velcro pushed in the channel. Costs a couple of $$. You can also use large drinking straws squashed in the channel or the Off cuts of cable ties. All cheap and good solutions. And they all come in black :-)

Tried with most of those - but this is the fix to end all fixes. It SO quiet now! Love it!

I use bluetag.....

Good info looks easy and neat.

Mostly on customers old Defender I put a blob of silicone sealant and let it dry, so it jams against the glass when shut.
