Can someone help me out with removing my rear seat in my '92 RRC? | ||

Jason, No problemo. Just remove the bolts that's on the footwell area then flip the seats over and do the same. Save the plastic half circle bushing things for later. I'd spray some penetrating fluid on the exposed bolts from under the truck just to make your life easier. Don't go crazy and use too much torque while loosening as the heads might get sheared off. Use anti-seize upon re-installing. | ||

Jason plan on breaking some bolts in the process, hopefully you won't have to drill to many. Good luck if you do the seatbelts also, they are a pain in the ass. | ||

Jason I opened mine up with similiar intentions as you, but once I got in there I found a quite a bit of rust so I POR-15 the whole landrover floor, from firewall to tailgate. It was at my house and I knew it would stop rust forever. Good luck hoperfully your Rover is southern and doesn't have alot of rust. I thought you were getting a 109? why all the work on a vehicle you are selling? | ||

Aaron, I am still looking at the 109 but I need to finish this project befor I trade it to the new guy... I ripped up all the carpets and I only found rust in the front drivers side floor board... Weird huh? Everyone else seems to think this thing should be rusted out but it's not, I could eat off of 95% of the floor if I didn't mind a bit of NC Red Clay (Just got back from Uwharrie.) | ||

Yeah man, I here you. Rust there means your drain plugs were blocked. | ||

Not always, I had a roof leak that caused mine. The water just ran down the A pilar. But I think your right that most of the time its the drain plugs. I had an 88 rrc with holes I could almost stick my foot thru. I learned and caught it early with the 95. What type of POR15 are you using Aaron? I have an unopened can of the chasis coat black laying around but I'm not sure if it would work the best for floors. I've only used the regular stuff so far. | ||

That is what I used since I didn't have a need to paint. It makes it easy to clean the floor also, since the stuff looks like creosote when it dries. I assume when you mean roof leak you are talking about the sunroof. But for backup your floor plugs should have allowed the water to escape, (in theory). I say POR, lasts forever and it is as thin as paint. Also will spread farther than Rhino liner. | ||

Well I guess I'll use up that POR15. Actually, first thing I looked at was the sun roof drains, they were clean. Then I looked at the AC drains, all clear. Dealer inspected the windscreen seal, found nothing wrong. Then on a trip back to St. Louis from PA, driving in a thunderstorm, water started pouring down out of the top of the windscreen. Clearly I had a roof leak. So I siliconed the gap between the roof and window seal. All is now well. No more leak. I haven't heard anyone else having this problem. I guess I'm just special. | ||

Actually there are screws all down the side of the RR which hold the roof down. It is common for these to be loose, not sure if it is time or like that from the factory. I tightned all of mine. I was suprised that just about everyone needed a few turns. Look under the plastic caps above doors, for the rest you have to remove the headliner. That might help some too. Ian do you live in StL | ||

Just when I thought I was special. I didn't even think to tighten those screws. I'll give that a shot sometime. Yeah I live in StL, Kirkwood to be exact. I've only lived here about 2 years though. Originally from Harrisburg PA. | ||

Cool I grew up in Fenton. I still own a company in StL, and we do a lot of work in Kirkwood and Chesterfield. I miss the big city, can't wait to visit in June. Gotta love 270 though. | ||

Yeah 270 is our own little piece of LA traffic. May I ask what type of company you own? My experience with contractors here has been pretty lousy. There's so much work no one seems to care about showing up on schedule to the job site. Otherwise St. Louis is pretty nice for a city. I miss living in the country though. Gotta love the 2 weeks of spring as well. I'm still waiting to get my rover back so I can check to see if those roof screws are loose. A rover tech friend is replacing the radius arm bushings. It's taking forever because it broke the machine shops press. They didn't have a problem with his 91's bushings. I guess mine are tougher because they are newer. | ||
