If you mean the door tops, I think they are a military defender
spec thing (from my somewhat vague understanding), There fitted
on mine too. All I can tell you is if you ever change the door
to door top seal, a series one is no good, you need the later
early defender split door one, as all the water collects in the
window channel and drains through a centre cut-out under the
twist window lock, the series seal is not designed to let water
out there, and therefore a lot of it comes inside! it does on
mine anyway :p I think they are aluminium too, but I’m not going
outside to check. :thumbs:
