Sliding windows
We develop and manufacture sliding windows for all Defender models. The windows are completely consistent with the original dimensions, so these can be installed easily and quickly.

The sliding part of the window is mounted in a specifically developed sliding system, which makes it immune to the accumulation of dirt in the slide channel. It is a system we are using for at least 20 years in the coachbuilding industry and it guarantees long-term low maintenance.

The Land Rover Defender sliding window from Explore Glazing is fitted with an easily operated lock mechanism and is adjustable in various positions. The edges of the glass are polished for optimum performance and safety.

All sliding windows are fitted with 4 mm toughened safety glass, certified ECE R-43 and DOT and available in the following colours:
- parsol green, light transmission 57% (tinted 43%)
- privacy grey, light transmission 20% (tinted 80%)

The dimensions of the sliding windows for your Land Rover Defender are 1055 mm x 425 mm with 4 x radius 50 mm up to MY2002 or 1055 x 425 mm with 2 x radius 70mm at the bottom after MY2002. In 2002, Land Rover modified the body, specifically the bottom of the window has a radius of 70 mm. The upper part of the window remained unchanged with radius 50 mm.  

When ordering the windows, it is important to indicate the manufacturing year of your Land Rover Defender because the existing plastic interior finish also has a different top and bottom radius. Please check before ordering!

We also have sliding windows for the back side of the Land Rover Defender Pick-up with the orginal Land Rover dimensions 905 mm x 365 mm with 4 x radius 70 mm. This type of window can also be mounted in a Land Rover Defender 110 hard top.

The sliding windows are available for mounting on the left - nearside (left hand drive) and right - offside (right hand drive).

Halfdrop windows
Only for the Land Rover Defender 90 and 110, Explore Glazing has developed a halfdrop window with an installation size of 1055 x 425 mm.

This window opens vertically from top to bottom (halfdrop) and offers optimal ventilation across the entire width of the window. The Explore Glazing halfdrop window has an easy-to-use lock and can be locked in various positions. The glass edges are polished to ensure optimal function and safety. The window is equipped with 4 mm tempered safety glass, ECE 43R and DOT certified and only available in dark gray LT20% en parsol green LT57% (original).

The halfdrop window is particularly suitable for Overlanders who want to make optimal use of the available space but want to ventilate well during their trip and overnight stays.

• Optimal use of space in your Defender
• Rising heat can be dissipated across the entire width
• Fresh air intake

The halfdrop window can be equipped with a window guard for optimal protection of the window and to prevent burglary.

Expedition windows (gullwing)
Use the expedition window – also known as ‘gullwing’ - for a quick and easy access to the loading space of your Land Rover Defender.

This window too has the same dimensions as the original sliding windows of your 4x4 and can be installed quickly and easily.

An aluminum plate, equipped with two robust gas springs and two lockable compression latches, ensures a perfect seal.

The entire gullwing - the frame and the hinged part - is finished with a black, high-quality industrial powder coating (RAL 9005) and is therefore insensitive to discoloration due to weather influences.

The gullwing is completely pre-assembled and ready to be mounted in your Defender!

In addition to the aluminum version, the gullwing is also available with 5 mm tempered safety glass with ECE 43R and DOT certification. Both hinged parts - aluminum and glass - are complete and easily interchangeable and available in the following glass colours:
- parsol green, light transmission 57% (tinted 43%)
- privacy grey, light transmission 20% (tinted 80%)

The dimensions of the gullwing for your Land Rover Defender are 1055 mm x 425 mm with 4 x radius 50 mm up to MY2002 or 1055 x 425 mm with 2 x radius 70mm at the bottom after MY2002.
In 2002, Land Rover modified the body, specifically the bottom of the window has a radius of 70 mm. The upper part of the window remained unchanged with radius 50 mm.  

When ordering your gullwing, it is important to indicate the manufacturing year of your Land Rover Defender because the existing plastic interior finish also has a different top and bottom radius. Please check before ordering!

We also produce gullwings for the back side of the Land Rover Defender Pick-up with the orginal Land Rover dimensions 905 mm x 365 mm with 4 x radius 70 mm. This type of gullwing can also be mounted in a Land Rover Defender 110 hard top.
