Built from a combination of black powder-coated steel and aluminium. In the stowed position the shelf is held closed by plunger catches with anti-rattle buffers; when lowered, fully adjustable webbing straps set and hold the working height. The outer face of the shelf doubles as a stowage panel for sand ladders and recovery equipment.

Mounts over a standard side window aperture, over an aftermarket window of similar dimensions, or on a body side with no window at all. Also compatible with the alloy flip-up window TF979.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Terrafirma TF978 fold down shelf?
The TF978 is a fold down shelf for the old-style Land Rover Defender, built 1983 to 2016. It provides a flat working or storage surface inside the load area that folds away when not needed, adding practicality to the rear of the vehicle.
Does the fold down shelf fit Defenders with side windows?
Yes, the TF978 fits old-style Defenders with or without side windows, covering both hardtop and station wagon load areas. This makes it flexible across different Defender body configurations from 1983 to 2016.
Which Defenders does this shelf suit?
The TF978 suits old-style Land Rover Defenders from 1983 to 2016. It isn't intended for the New Defender (L663) introduced in 2020, which has a different load area, so confirm you have the classic-shape Defender before ordering.
