wheel arch strips

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.


1 x LR031593 - FRONT LEFT HAND WHEEL ARCH (different profile to protect air box?)
1 x LR001623 - FRONT WHEEL ARCH - FITS RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE
2 x LR001624 - REAR PART OF REAR ARCH - FITS RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE
2 x LR005165 - FRONT PART OF REAR ARCH - FITS RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE

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

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.
