Has anyone installed this? Is it easy? Where did you buy yours? The best price I found is on roverconnection.com, $350. Any advice about this would be appreciated.

What is it exactly??

It is a polyeurathane rubber trim that covers each of the wheel wells as well as replacing the stock black trim across the doors. It is beefier than the stock trim, and looks more like a disco II.

LRNA had a lot of problems with that kit. initally they used a glue to gold it on, but bits fell off. solution was to drill the bodywork.....

I don't know about the glue application, but the kit I ran attached to the body in 2 ways. First, their was a pre-applied adhesive than ran around the perimeter of each piece. Second, there were mechanical attachments. The wheel arch pieces had plastic rivets that were "riveted" into the existing holes on the underside of each wheelarch. The door pieces snapped into existing holes on the body that were exposed when the old moulding was removed. I ran it about a year before I got another rover & never had a problem (& it got used extensively off road). It is quite a bit beefier than the stock trim & worked really well keeping the body out of the dirt and rocks if you were laying against a embankment on a steep sidetilt or the like.

In my experience, the old moulding was what kept peeling off. The new moulding always stayed true.

My 96 Disco already had this moulding when I picked it out on the dealer lot. I've not had a single bit of trouble with it in almost 5 years. It's saved me from some trail rubbing more than a few times, especially on the wheel arches.

If you're talking about the Body Side Moldings, and they were installed when you bought the rig, they should be covered by factory warranty. There was a large problem with techs not taking the proper time to install these and they're not sticking as a result.

If not, I haven't found the appropriate adhesive yet, but have tried many. Email me for more info.
