Frequently asked questions

What does the rear door outer waist seal do?
The rear door outer waist seal, left-hand, fits along the upper edge of the LH rear side door outer panel and wipes against the outside of the drop glass. It stops water tracking down the outer panel into the door cavity and reduces wind noise at the glass channel on the Defender.
Which Land Rover Defender does this rear LH waist seal fit?
This rear door outer waist seal fits the left-hand rear side door of the Land Rover Defender 1987 to 2016, on the 110 and 130 wheelbase bodies that have rear side doors. It's a Genuine Land Rover part, number ALR5981, and cross-references to MUC1605.
Is this the same as the front seal or the right-hand side?
This is the rear side door seal for the left-hand side only, so it's not interchangeable with the front door seal or the right-hand rear seal. It suits 110 and 130 five-door bodies with rear side doors. Check your door position and side before ordering to get the correct seal.
