The above video shows you how to fit Masai Panoramic side windows to both Defenders with factory-fit windows that you want to replace and to Hard Top / Panel Vans that need an aperture cut out.

We do not recommend that you wash your vehicle or leave out in the rain for 24 hours.

Please watch our video and study the instructions supplied; make sure you have all the tools and other equipment ready before you start, including a table near your vehicle. Please follow widely accepted Safety Precautions, we cover some of them at the foot of this page.

What’s in the Masai Panoramic Windows kit
Your Masai Panoramic Windows kit includes specialist preparation primer and silicone adhesive, an applicator swab for the adhesive, templates and instructions. A pair of side windows, and a pair of rear quarter lights if you bought them too.

The tools and equipment you will need to have ready in advance:
Toots and Equipment you need

A table at least 4 foot long to put the glass on whilst applying the primer and adhesive, if not then use the cardboard box that the windows came in.
Cloths and mild cleaning agent to make sure all surfaces are clean.
Latex gloves
An electric extension cord.
An electric drill and an 8mm drill bit
Eye and ear protectors
Caulking gun

Remove factory side windows
Using a tool such as a screwdriver remove the window seal beading strips, drill out the rivets and remove the aluminium window frames from both sides of the vehicle.

Preparing the surfaces and applying the adhesive:
Clean the outside mating surfaces of the vehicle, also the glass.

You can tell which window goes on which side as the Masai logo should be the right way up when installing the window.

Lay the first window on a table, with cardboard or newspaper protection – so that the inside, the aluminium frame side is facing up.

Shake the preparation primer and CAREFULLY remove the lid.

When applying the special primer, do so, in a continuous line.

Using the applicator apply the primer in neat straight lines along the outer edges of the glass – about 5 mm from the edge, with two extra lines on the larger side and one extra line on the smaller side. Join the lines – no gaps.

Immediately go to the vehicle and apply the primer in the same way.

Immediately get one of the silicone adhesive tubes from the bucket, dry it, insert into gun and remove lid, test on a piece of newspaper to see that the gun is prepared and the adhesive extrudes from the nozzle correctly.

Without delay start to apply the adhesive (see photos) on top of all the lines you have make with the primer on the glass (not the vehicle).

The triangular cut-out in the nozzle needs to face upwards.

Make a continuous pyramid shape line along and on top of all of the primer lines (see photo and video). Make sure there are no gaps – particularly the top edge – to ensure no leaks.

Fitting the Windows
The primer and adhesive application process should be done within 10 – 15 minutes and immediately after carefully carry the window to the vehicle and press it firmly into position.

You will need two people to do this. First priority is to make sure the top edge is parallel to the rim of the roof and the rear side is parallel to the vertical side of the vehicle.

The silicone adhesive bonds straight away to the primer on the vehicle but will take 24 hours to really cure.

Keep continuous pressure on all parts of the glass for at least 10 minutes to ensure it is properly stuck evenly all around.

Repeat the whole process with the other side of the vehicle.

You may need to adjust some of the internal trim if necessary to fit around the window.

Safety Precautions
Before embarking on a DIY project, it’s essential that you take the proper safety precautions. Wear protective clothing including safety goggles, gloves, hearing mufflers when working with potentially hazardous materials and equipment such as primers, solvents, adhesives, glass, electric drills and saws. Always use the correct tools for the job. It is worth investing in high quality equipment as this will be safer and will probably do the job quicker.

Don’t rush as you’re more likely to have an accident. Carefully plan the job before you start work. Know your limitations and consult a professional if you are unsure. It’s also a good idea to ask someone if they can help you. Unplug drills and jig saws before fitting parts and remove the chuck key before switching on. We cannot be held responsible if you do not follow safety precautions or do not follow instructions exactly.
