Hi guys,

My car's interior is getting unglued around the windows, like old houseÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s wallpapers , I think itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s due to the sun and the hot temp.

Does anyone of you had faced such a situation and which could be a solution ?

I'm tinking about patching with new woven ??!! but i'm not sure about this choice.

Thanks to all in advance

Devon 4x4 sell a repair kit for Ã‚Â£60-80 or so. It's your dashboard delaminating.

As far as I can recall, the repair kit is for a 300 dash - I don't remember reading about peeling dash's on 200s.

Where exactly is it coming apart Hichem - is it the side windows or the windscreen?

No ! it's in the rear left and right windscreen!
It's like an coming out old wallpaper :(

When my dash started lifting, I got a strip of aluminium, sprayed it black and screwed it down into the dash... if its any help!

Well i'm talking about this problem:

Ah yes I see what you mean now.. I think the language barrier got us previously - I understand now that you're referring to the rear alpine window surrounds!
I have never come across the trim going like that (not hot enough here in UK)

The only thing I can think of is to take the trim off - I think you need to remove the upper rear seatbelt anchors to do so - and try something like sandwiching the trim between some thin aluminium strip either side (underneath and on top) holding in place with pop rivets - this may also serve to cover where the plastic has shrunk as well?

I had the same problem with the trim around the alpine windows
on my last Discovery, My problem was due to the rubber seals
being perished and allowing water in... :(

I got round it by sealing around the windows with clear silicon,
I then removed the trim around the inside of the windows and
re-stuck the loose trim back onto the backing with silicon sealer... :D

Hi Chris,

well i think this could be the only solution even if is not so goog to see!!!!
About the weather: Land Rover sold cars all around the world and in Africa it's almost all the time sunny and about 30Ã‚Â° and more hot.

Hichem.

Yeah Paul,
i'm trying something like this but instead the silicon, i'm using hot glue.

This will be forever ! :lol: :roll:
