I’ve searched the forum and hit up a couple of AIs with no joy.

Has anyone removed this panel to expose the window behind it or actually know someone who’s done it? I asked the parts guy to see if he could lookup a diagram showing the cover part and he was clueless.

Not looking to hypothesize, looking for real world data.

Thanks.

 

pics would help

 

This side panel that covers the rear side glass

 

It is not a panel. The glass is actually painted over believe it or not. I am an Outbound owner and considered having it replaced with glass from my dealership or Safelite but decided PPF it in piano black gloss instead.

 

Well I beg to differ, mine is a panel which you can see in these pictures and the parts guy said at the dealer it was a panel too but he was unable to pull a parts diagram showing the Outbound’s additional parts.

I took some pics and a video of the inside glass and you can clearly see the adhesive pads as well as an interesting antenna system that I’m pretty sure doesn’t exist on the regular 130.

I’m going to call NA HQ and if that doesn’t get me the details I have a good friend in the UK who knows people at JLR who should have some insight.

Ultimately I’ll probably just wrap it with gloss black like you said
