Thank you @Firewout I’e just downloaded your owner’s handbook, been searching for service specs for my soon to arrive BJ42

Shouldn’t make any difference, assume you just tapped the fog wire at the back? Disconnect it- MoT-reconnect… So are you fogs now always on with your headlights? I’d start by checking the switch.

I’ve worked out how to get the parts lists up on Amayama.com https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/toyota/land_cruiser. Then just select your market and model

But I would also say if the fabric itself is leaking then they should replace it. Trouble is even if they give you a...

I also see one (or more) zips is letting it in. Did they fit any type of cover /deflector over the zips or are they exposed on the outside? There would normally be a piece of fabric over the top of a standard zip (or behind it) to deflect the rain. (Think tent or even rain jacket).

Hi Gary, Really sorry to hear this, it looked like they’d done a great job. My mesh is outside as are many roof tents etc so I don’t think this is an issue. I would start by sealing all the seams with seam tape if they are not already and then applying Grangers Fabsil over the entire canvas...

@Gav missin , here are a few, yet to get it home.
