Greetings to the whole community.
I would like to ask if anyone has ever had the problem of detaching the strips installed on the wheel arch, like the ones shown in the photo.
Can they be replaced? Are these stripes only original Land Rover or are there other brands?
Thanks to whoever will answer me.

Yes these are replaceable from LandRover in a set of four before fitting coat wheel arch lips with Waxoyl or other rustproofing this will keep them in place and stop them peeling back as well as protecting the bodywork, sorry do not have the part numbers, 2013 FL2 XS.

We all have to remove and bin and replace them sooner or later. They are all available, 6 parts needed.

Some have used other third party products bought by the metre and cut to length and some have, I believe, just done away with them altogether but as I have only ever bought the Land Rover parts… I can't point you in any direction there.

I used these.

I used 3 strips cut from rubber U channel from ebay for the simple ones and used a genuine one for the strip with the extra seal (front LH side).


I washed out the arches, allowed to dry and then waxoyled before applying the new strips. Jules

I removed them entirely. Just pay attention to wash the arches thoroughly to stop any mud building up. Will probably wax the inside lips once the salted roads have cleared in spring. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

2014 Orkney grey Freelander SD4 GS.
2004 Zambezi silver Discovery 2 Td5 (Gone)
1963 Surf blue Morris Mini Minor Super de Luxe (my little toy)

Same as SYFL2
Many types and colours, if you want. Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !
Now retired so it doesn't matter anymore.
Freelander now gone.

Thanks guys for the advice.

@Reggie

That link now takes you to a different product - mine had no metal stiffeners.

I specifically bought edging with no metal strip inserts - because that is what goes rusty and causes it to swell and become disconnected from the arch.

Looking back in my records I replaced the original OEM strips just before the 3 yr warranty ran out (FOC by Dealer). They lasted another 3 years and I replaced those in 2020 with strip from ebay (10m roll cut as required) and an OEM one for the LH front arch for the extra sealing strip it has.

The strips have lasted well (see pics)- but one or two have started to move but are otherwise fine. so I was planning to take them off this summer - clean them up and the arches, and stick them back on with waxoyl underseal as before.

Thanks Jules...

I'll need to get out and measure the existing OEM products for the lip depth and in the case of the the front nearside, the diameter of the extra seal - this seller may be able to provide both types...

Yours don't look too shabby...

yes - they've lasted longer than expected

I bought something more like this (no metal bits)
