Thread: Perentie window felt - how to replace it.

I appreciate the compliment.

Can't help with part numbers, but I'm looking myself. Will report back when I find a source

I have the same problem with BOTH door tops - tried to take the tops off, but the nut/bolt just keeps turning inside the door top..
How did you manage to get yours undone?

The bolt is threaded at the top. The door top has a threaded stud welded into it. Just keep turning it and it will come out.

My search for spares continues.

If you do a little surfing in this section you will find a sticky thread full of useful Perentie parts info. (Including the answers for this question.)

Also do you know you can prolong the life of your felts by removing them giving them a little/light stretch to return them to the needed length and return them to the door top by folding them in reverse (fold from opposite side). New ones come as a flat strip of felt that you need to fold to insert into the door top.

Thanks for the link.

New felt is cheap enough. Landybitzau on ebay sells it for something like $14.

Yes it is cheap and you can also get it direct through the Land Rover Genuine parts chain.

However for no money and no waiting for the post to arrive with as little as an hours work you can recondition your current felts by reversing them.

I personally like to do the whole new for old wherever possible - especially on a vehicle I've only had a couple of months.

Felt is probably one of those things that doesn't matter, but the mentality has stuck from working with.modern cars where it's usually a bad idea to recycle anything.

That is probably a valid attitude to apply to manufactured parts but with a flat strip of felt I like the notion of the first of the three Rs (Reuse, Recycle, Reduce).

Having installed new top strips on my previous Perentie but reused some strips for the verticals I found no noticeable difference in the sealing qualities so on my current Perentie have reused all the strips and am very happy with the results.

I will admit that they probably wont last as long as new ones but who cares, I did it on a Sunday at the spur of the moment while I was re-sealing a bottom runner which had come adrift from the glass?
