Land Rover Defender - gullwing window with an integrated sliding window

This gullwing window – also referred to as a side access panel or flip-up side hatch – is designed to fit the factory opening of the Defender's side window. The frame follows the original contour precisely and requires no modifications to the bodywork.

The integrated sliding window is positioned within the hinged section and can be opened independently. This offers airflow while driving, without compromising the security and sealing of the gullwing hatch.
