Gullwing window kit - For Land Rover Defender Puma Tdci and TD5 (2002 ownards)
A real side opening for your Defender, without compromise. The Gullwing Side Seeker window kit replaces your Land Rover Defender Puma Tdci or TD5 (2002 onwards) original side window with a lift-up hatch made of 5 mm thermolacquered aluminum, gas-strut assisted. Open, it turns your Defender into an expedition kitchen, an observation post, or a serving hatch into camp. Closed, it blends into the vehicle's lines.
Why a Gullwing window on a Defender?
- Live from the vehicle. Direct access to the boot or the fitted-out area without opening the rear door, even in the rain thanks to the awning formed by the open hatch.
- Ventilation and light. A real supply of air into a Defender cabin that's historically cramped and poorly ventilated.
- Built for expedition. 5 mm aluminum, thermolacquered finish, 304 stainless steel hardware sized for off-road tracks and long-distance vibration.
- No dismounting required, mounted on the original frame. Illustrated assembly manual included, self-installation in 1 to 2 hours.
- Discretion and security. The Gullwing window shields your vehicle and its interior from prying eyes, and it cannot be removed from the outside.
