Dont know if this has already been posted but I think its really important and I hope it helps to prevent damage.

I have today fitted my "Water Shedder" to help prevent water damage to Sat NAV, DVD, Telephone & Power Amp if water leaks through left hand rear quarter.

It's cheaper at the dealer... 

OK but can only be pennies...

Plus shipping.... that and britcar are a bunch of twunts. They just took 2 weeks to send me something I was too lazy to go to the dealer for  

Dealer it is then

i bought mine from dealer- cant remember exact cost but wasnt much!

Any one fitted one?

Having been there and got the dead sat nav T shirt I've ordered it , just hope I'm not paying £7 for a landrover carrier bag!

Only Landrover could have the nerve to suggest putting on a Mac because the car leaks! 2010 Disco XS TDV6, 2009 Freelander 2 GS

Did you ever manage to find out how to install the water shedder, I've just picked one up and would be keen to hear peoples experience about fitting one to a facelift 2005 car.

That reminds me, i must fix the roof on my house today:lol:

Do many people have problems with the water ingress. I have a bit of water in the wheel well but thought this was either condensation or "normal", my classic softdash and series II leak like a collander, thought it was inbuilt into every landrover.
