Discovery 1 & 2 All-Metal Window Switch Refresh Kit

Discovery 1 & 2 All-Metal Window Switch Refresh Kit

Due to the cost I deliberated long and hard, investigating alternative fixing options before pressing the 'buy' button. Thankfully I had nothing to be concerned about as Golden Rovers have designed and manufactured an excellent solution for the brittle plastic holding the window switches.

With the aid of the YouTube video and the written instructions installation was a breeze and if not for the clips a 10 minute job. The issue with the clips is that they must be an off the shelf design purchased in bulk and the opening is too small to open up easily to accept the silver plate plus the plastic without thinking what plastic is left is going to shatter under the Herculian effort of getting the clip to fit on.

In the end I squashed down all the prongs and with a wide, flat screwdriver opened up the clip opening to make them a simple push on and hey presto!

Materials are A1! Aluminium bezel, not plastic and once all firmly, but not over tightened, screwed down the switches are rock solid and on my kit didn't foul as a previous reviewer has mentioned.

4 1/2 stars for the kit, half a star deducted for clips supplied.

This is the refresh I needed on my Disco. Easy to install and looks amazing.

This kit is a great solution to the factory switch panel. It cleaned up the center console and eliminates the frustration of constantly fussing with window and seat heater switches.

The switch slots on the bottom aren't big enough, and the switches hit the bottom and/or top when pressed. Sometimes they get stuck. I had to grind down the aluminum base a little to fix the problem. This happened with both the original LR switches and Britpart switches. Aside from that, it's a great idea, looks fantastic, and could be improved.
