Can't argue, I didn't with Prospeed , I've not heard of members doing this with Britpart, I didn't need to with previous GVNP ones that are now on Sailorboi's car either Altox GSM FBH controller thread

I'll take another look tomorrow and get it sorted!
That's the plastic clip on the inner of the front trim , the sill you have removed has a tongue that engages with itAltox GSM FBH controller thread

Apologies for thread hijacking!
Tried again tonight. Managed to sort the issue I was having before (thanks to Beanie and maybe another read through the instructions, maybe....!).
Now I'm struggling to get them on. Can't get all the bolts in (some aren't aligned and others the sliders don't sit close enough to the sill to get the bolts in) and they sit too high at the front.
Starting to think someone shouldn't have spent the money on getting them Raptor'd now!
That doesn't look good, the seal may clip the slider on closing the door, but not foul like that, Prospeed sliders need replacement shirt seals, but that looks like badly made sliders

That's weird, the raptoring does not seem to impact that, they just seem to to be too high. Mine pulled in against the sill and up against the bottom of the sill too.
If you loosely fit the bolts on the side then do the bottom and tighten, then tighten the side. But I don't see how this would solve your problem!Sill protection - LED internal lights - LED reverse lights - boot liner - Dog Guard - Rock sliders

It is strange. I wasn't able to tighten them all because I couldn't get them all in. The only thing I can think is that getting all the bolts in and tightened may pull the sliders down but it doesn't seem like that.
I've sent an email to the supplier and we'll see what happens.

I apologise if this is a stupid question as i don't have sliders myself (yet) but are you sure that you have the left and right on the correct sides? Maybe the higher bit should be towards the rear? Maybe that's not even possible. Just a mad thought.D4 XS, gone, much loved, never forgotten

Sliders
I fitted mine this week and have exactly the same problem.
I've had to completely remove the rubber seals to close the front doors.
Has to be a faulty batch......

There is no way to possibly confuse left and right due to the pre-drilled holes and the lip at the rear....
I contacted Ribble Valley 4x4 who I purchased from and they responded very quickly and have contacted Terrafirma. Terrafirma have confirmed it is a new batch and they have told Ribble 4x4 that they will test this new batch on their own Disco to see what the issues are.... Looks like a faulty batch but until I get confirmation I can't confirm.
Worst thing is I spent a bit getting them Raptor coated prior to fitting.
And now because I have removed the sill trim, alignment brake and trim clips. I cannot refit the sill trim and currently don't have a weather tight car....

Looking at the tree sliders this morning and comparing it with the plastic trim that came off one of the folds on the sliders is not parallel which I think is the problem

I was just about to order a pair of these! They looked to be exceptional value for money. I think I'll wait and see how this develops first! Keep us posted, I hope it all works out well for you.
