Panel or no panel, that is the question

Yep, think you are right. Glass will pop out easy. I'll be swearing a lot and using an angle grinder and lump hammer.

I have this one which cuts steel up to 2 mm like scissors cut paper:

I think so too. In the series process, the spot welds will all be the same size and in one line.

Above all, they will not be visible.

I'm not so sure about that. Please also remember the welding points on the Defender.

Picture I took on my test drive, there's some sort of paneling behind the metal, not sure if uts insulation

I'm going to guess it's a sound deadening panel like a Dodo mat.

Wouldnt be fantastic if the seats folded down to give that space in all the Belstaff models.

I used to have a Nissan Pathfinder that wasn’t far off that set up when the seats folded down. 100% flat...so useful

Resurrecting an older thread.
Adding the 3rd row Panels (vs Windows) as an option in the USA configurator, is sadly NO longer an option (it was awhile back).
Anyone know if IA has killed this option for the USA?

I don’t know if it’s been eliminated, but I’m not at all surprised it’s unavailable . Things in the States with paneled sides are usually for work and at the price of the IG it won’t be a work vehicle here.

LAME. We often get shafted on vehicles in the USA. Not enough people in the USA would use these as work vehicles, yet those in other countries will? I don't quite understand IA's logic...

Maybe the timing for the US market means the gullwing will be available by then and the alternative to glass?
