    Interesting! I'm picking up my 2020 one tomorrow and am hoping to not need this knowledge, but I'm glad it's out there now.

      Congratulations on the new Defender ! Actually the 2020 models have some nice extras... USB in the seats and rear.... Soft close rear door actuator ... sunglass holder in roof....

    Simon, are you aware the rear wiper arm has been redesigned? I went to the dealer to purchase a new blade and the blade I needed was discontinued, as the arm was redesigned to squirt fluid directly onto the glass. It is much better than before!

    A modeling Stanley knife would be good for finishing the removal.

    That flying trim problem affected the 2009-2016 Citroen C5 and I lost mine but that was rubbish clips…some double sided tape helped fix it! I’m wondering d peak Defender time might be 2021/2022…before all the neat bits vanished! Good work but best angle grind with the work on a desk or in a clamp as I was worried it might stick and fly up in your face….😬😬😬😨😨Stay safe! 😃😃😃😃Richard

      Sorry for the HSE violation - we were not in the workshop but it was a little risky !
      I think you are correct about the 2021 year - soft close / USB in seats etc !

    Nice work! Was wondering if you guys experienced wind noise at high speeds from the A pillar as my 2023 defender is experiencing that and couldn’t fix it, wanted to know if replacing the A pillar will fix it before ordering one.

    • @L663

      Can confirm that I’ve got the same issue in a 2024 model. Most wind noise comes out from the left A pillar.

    I've had these A-Pillars blow off recently. You mentioned a recall (and I've read the same on the U.S. forums) - does anybody have the official TSB/recall number?
