I've been looking for replacement window felts for over three years with no luck. If you find any let me know. They must be available but I've not found them yet. I've wedged mine with a small piece of cardboard to stop the rattle.

Yup, I used Woolies Trim. Worked a treat. I just followed the link on this site:
defender windows - Defender Forum - LR4x4 - The Land Rover Forum
Very satisfying having working sliding windows with no rattle.

I too have this dram on ma 110 csw. The last few days i,ve taken the inside out for a clean, paint and re-vamp. The felt is completly rotten away and some nice green gunge lives there now!
L.R.series have genuine ones here but a bit expensive.
Paddocks sell here ,but its britpart!
I,ve just ordered mine here from Woolies. I,ve ordered 5 meters worth which should be more than enough.
Trawled the internet last night for ideas and Woolies gets good right ups albeit hard to install.
I,ll keep you posted on my trial and error!

Ha ha.
Yeah, was a really easy fix actually. Thought it would take the afternoon, but did both sides in about 30 minutes.
Tricky part was closing the windows whilst forming the felt round the corners - Small slotted screwdriver and a bit of patience was needed.
Once done i left it a few days and now they can open and close and stay fitted nicely. I didn't secure it with anything, just let it sit in the rails - its a nice tight fit.
Also, I didn't bother removing the window locks, just them compressed when needed.
Had no issues with it so far - about three months in.

I had some pieces of plastic from milk bottles in mine for a while whish stopped the rattle, but I wanted working windows - I use the back to take the dogs out and they like to stick their heads out! Keeps them cool on the way home from the woods etc.

Yep, all out. If I remember correctly it ripped when I was taking it all out, but didn't cause any issues. Really was an easy job to do - I put it off thinking it was going to be a pain in the ass! So glad once it was done.

Did mine with MWC7620 (Britpart pt) £25+ vat!!!
Old felt was wrotten and holding water in the channel. Difficult bit was sliding felt into channel at the top with window fully open and then feeding felt right along to the middle divider with window in place. Perfect fit , no rattles and best of all no leaks now.

Good find. I've been looking for the correct trim for nearly three years and now the window rattle is beyond a joke. Going to order up from Woolies tomorrow and solve the problem once and for all. No more cardboard wedges and leaky windows. Cheers.

Yeah, full length. I too ordered 5metres and had some to spare - not a lot though, maybe 20cm! I just followed the instructions on the link I posted, you can't go wrong.
