Honest discussion about longevity

so, with either window open from about a 1/4” to upwards of maybe 3”, if you take your fingers and grip the top edge of the window and wiggle it the clicking is replicated. If I wedge my finger tips between the glass and the rubber seal nearest to the little tweeter the clicking stops when driving on bumpy roads.
I haven’t any idea what causes this. It’s not a vibration, it’s a hard clicking noise.
To be honest, I’m WAY WAY more concerned about what’s going on with my air suspension.

This: "Nobody is going to build/sell a brake line that has even a remote chance of failing in a few years or 60,000 miles. The liability would be insane."
No. The liability would NOT be insane if they included that mandatory replacement in the manual/servicing specs. And, lo and behold, LR obviously did.
Now, you may be right and this might have got lost in translation. It is your car and you can gamble/bet with it based on your own experiences, but you know what happens IF something goes south. LR will point you right back to the owners manual.

Land Rover and Jaguar are recalling 104,000 vehicles because of problems with the brakes and lights.
The largest recall involves a brake-hose issue that Jaguar Land Rover North America studied and dismissed, only to reopen after an accident.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued notices on the recalls Friday.
The safety agency said that Jaguar Land Rover North America will recall up to 74,648 Range Rovers because one or both front brake hoses could rupture, causing the loss of braking fluid.
Land Rover dealers will replace the brake hoses for free on the cars, which are model years 2006 through 2012.”

Not trying to criticize anybody, but IMO the point you guys are missing when critiquing the modern electronics is probably the same people 20 years back made when IFS came to replace the solid axles or when electronic fuel injection replaced the carburetors. 30 or 50 years from now, the industry and technology will have evolved enough to make fixing/replacing these same electronics we now beat on an easy and (relatively) cost-effective thing. It is just the natural course of evolution. Otherwise we would all still be driving old wagons pulled by horses.
