Defender Roof Console

Defender Roof Console offers a unique storage solution for the Land Rover Defender in providing additional overhead roof storage as well as a Single DIN provision in one unit.

Defender Roof Console comes in three individually designed pieces to make the most of the overhead space. The centre section has been designed to hold any DIN sized application aswell as relocating the original interior light.

With the two side sections designed to hold anything fr0m maps to sunglasses.

Defender Roof Console is supplied with a DIN blanking panel but the central binnacle will fit any DIN sized accessory such as the DIN Pocket pictured below.

Defender Roof Console is supplied in three separate pieces. The product has been designed with CAD software and the moulding finished off using CNC machinery to ensure an OE level fit and finish to the product.

Will the Defender Roof Console fit my vehicle?

The MUD Defender Roof Console has been designed to fit all post 1983 Defender models without a sunroof and with a factory headlining.

If you have a non factory headlining it is unlikely it will fit without modification of the headling (please see the dimensions provided below).

If you have a Series vehicle, again it is unlikely it will fit without modification.

Defender Roof Console fits all Defenders except sunroof equipped models. The fixing method does not require removal or cutting of the headlining or sun visors. (Some later models will require trimming of the central area of the headlining when fitting a DIN unit).

The central binnacle will accept a Single DIN sized accessory such as a Stereo, CB/HAM radio or even a digital tachograph.

The Single DIN aperture will also accept a bank of seven by using the Carling interlocking switch mounts. For a bank of seven Carling switches you would require, 2 x interlocking ends & 5 x interlocking centres.

The two storage pockets are large enough to store maps, documents and magazines

Defender Roof Console is supplied with all fixings, interior lamp extension loom.
