Looking to buy another Defender 90 at my dealer here. I noticed on the passenger door top left corner that it sits in almost 1/4" and is not flush at all with the rear side glass. Besides it not looking very fit & finished I fear wind noise or maybe water issues??
Can you D90 owners do me a BIG favor and look at your doors where I annotated the picture with red arrows and see if the top corners of your doors sit flush to the rear side glass.

I have a 2023 P300 90, and that spot is not flush either.
Thanks so much. I just walked around two LR dealerships this morning and saw 5 different 90's, the only one that had flush doors in the upper corners was a V8. The others had varying degrees of inset doors either on one door or both. I wonder what is off alignment, the entire door edge in relation to the rear quarter panel is perfect, it's just the upper corners of the door frame that's off.
Don't have mine handy (it's being transported back home), but have a couple pics for reference. Unlike the one you are asking about, the gap seems to be relatively consistent from bottom to top.
I've seen a few 90's and would have noticed that. I would be vigilant on this one for sale about making sure it hadn't been bumped, had a door replaced, etc.

yes my door edge seems flush enough to the rear panel.
the upper panel looks like it is set behind the panel below it so it seems like it will always be not flush with the rear.

Hi, I followed this one from Nitra to the boat to the port then to my dealer who called me when the truck showed up. I think its a fit & finish assembly
line issue
Sadly passing on this one. If both sides were the same, either flush or inset, I'd be ok with it. But having one side (passenger) inset a 1/4" and the other side flush means something is very poorly aligned.

Good call. Something def was not right.
Could they not fix it or did they try to tell you its "normal?"
