UPDATED: Below are the updated list of the latest A pillar parts based on having had both sets of parts replaced under warrant in mid-September 2023.i

I was looking to replace my 2021 D90 First Edition A pillar trim parts with the latest version of these parts. My understanding was that the design of the three parts including the underlying trim mount, the outer long trim piece, and the bottom rectangular outer trim have evolved since the new Defender was released and that these parts are designed to work together. I.e. you shouldn’t attempt to mix and match different generations of these parts.

BTW, my Defender has the gloss black long outer trim pieces while some other Defenders have body color.

 

Let it replace under warranty... they have done a lot of A pillars replacements, known issue
MInes are replaced with new ones under warranty MY21

 

If you still have your repair documentation, can you share the part numbers of the pieces that were replaced?

Yes, I’m planning to make a run at getting the latest parts installed under warranty, but I’m not assuming it’s a sure thing to get it approved. Besides, I don’t want to get into a situation where the dealer applies one of the other workarounds involving felt tape rather than replacing all three parts. If the dealer opts to replace the parts,
I want to compare what they using with the latest generation of these parts.

BTW, My preowned D90 has paint that was scrapped off the top of the fenders under the A pillar trim due to poor design of the older parts and/or improper installation after a windshield replacement. Fortunately, the paint issue is being covered by the selling dealer. I’m covering the cost of new PPF windshield forward. Hopefully the PPF on top of the fenders under the A pillars will act as additional protection from the A pillar lower trim.

One way or another I want to ensure that I get the latest A pillar parts in place after the paint and PPF work is done.

Thanks!

 

Very thorough but those #'s you post in the far right column are *not* the JLR part #'s. Those are the #'s stamped on the back. Different thing. (I know I know)

A helpful trick. This usually (if not always) has the latest part revisions

https://parts.jaguarlandroverclassic...nd/land-rover/

So here are all the part # supersessions JUST for the one a pillar outer cover, LH, primed (ie have to paint, not the black one)




Also... they always are "not available" on this website because that JLR classic site doesn't sell the parts for the new cars. Only classic stuff. But you can hack the site to see the L663 parts catalog as I've one above !

 

Just had mine replaced in May.

'22 110 P400 HSE X-Dyn but I don't think that matters?

One already flew off on the highway but that's a story for another time.

 

FWIW, here are the part numbers that were used with warranty replacement a few weeks ago on my 2021 D90 First Edition. The lower exterior pieces came primed and were painted body color by the local paint shop.
