Funny thing behind middle seat

satchmolips · Jan 13, 2013

OK, have tub and roof off for some MOT welding. Under neath the back (Pick up) window, is a short strip of metal riveted by three rivets to the bit where it joins the tub, immediatley behind the middle seat. This metal strip seems to have no other purpose than to hold on some fabric/foam. As most of mine has disintegrated I am wondering what it is meant to be for. As far as I can see it would hang behind middle seat or possibly fold back inbetween bottom of window and tub, where they bolt together.

Any clues please?

OK I give in. My powers of description are no match for your stretched imaginations. Here's some pictures, it's the black tatty fabric which is hanging off the riveted strip. What's it for please

not a clue, not got one on my 90, but mines hard top rather than pickup......doesn't look factory fit though, given the number of holes either side of it.....may have taken some positioning

BTW that the 'Rotton bit of foam retaining strip' a factory fitted optional extra and increases the value massively as not many came off the line and they are now impossible to source

Now that's a bit harsh, you asked for pics and it's cold out there. Surely someone else has one

no yours is very unique

Thanks for all your help Guys.

Should I

a) repair it so it does whatever it used to do
b) remove it so I go faster
c) sell it on fleabay

Just out of curiosity what kind of material is it?

blackhadder · Jan 14, 2013

Perchance, is your LR an ex MoD one. The Army have a penchant for putting bits and pieces on for specific reasons. I think you can safely remove it and keep it in the spares bin. However, if the truck falls apart, its nowt to do with me.

If you take that off you will need to change you rear prop for a wide angle one i think.

Best to repair it.
