DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
FRONT SEAT RECLINE - FROM 02MY
Front seat recline has been improved by removing the bulkhead situated behind the front seats. This enables the
front seats to be reclined further than previous Defender 90’s.
This change is only applicable to 90 County Station Wagon models. Six seat derivatives of this model will provide
greater incline of the front seats and increased cabin space.
SOFT TOP - FROM 02MY
The soft top is replaced by an improved version manufactured from PVC. The PVC soft top gives the following
improvements:
•
Resistance to shrinkage
•
No zips
•
Resistant to dust and water ingress
•
Weld seams and joints
•
Non cotton base construction
•
Easy to clean
Beach Bar
A beach bar, currently used on military vehicles only, will be introduced for fitment on all 02MY soft top vehicles.
The bar is located behind the front seats and is manufactured from large diameter steel tubing with a diagonal bar
which gives additional rigidity.
