Dust!!

Recirculating keeps out the dust.

In my RRC and D2 I blocked off the exit vents for the aircon.

This enabled the pressure to rise vs outside when the aircon was on "fresh". If the exit vents are clear then the pressure rise is reduced.

When in dust of another vehicle My SWMBO is tasked to quickly switch from fresh to recirc. I also searched behind trim to find the many captured nut holes etc and blocked them off. For the D4 owner having dust in the rear doors. Has someone taken off the door trims and not completely replaced the plastic film?

Dust on the tailgate is another matter. I use a small dustpan brush to clean off the top of the tailgate before opening.

It was worse on the RRC but I also had an airtank plumbed and used a blower to clean the dust off.

Is this bad? I thought so but the dealer said it’s normal. My D2 didn’t leak that bad......almost lol
Anyway speaking with a LR approved panel shop (Lance Dixon’s) about another matter, I asked him about it and he said you may be able to make small adjustments with the metal lug things that the tailgate latches onto to pull in tighter. He also said that the actual latch has adjustment as well (upper tailgate section) so maybe the D5 has that adjustment too which would pull the tailgate in tighter.

That’s terrible! Our D4 let in absolutely NO dust. And that is far worse than our D5. No way should that be considered normal.

Same as Tony, absolutely no dust in our D4 ever. That is completely unacceptable.
