Thing is complete shit.

The rear window falling out is the last of your Freelander Ownership problems.

I've had them as site Vehicles and the rear ends are poor. Infact the whole drive train is poor. Only thing thats anygood is the lumps .. Although they can cause problems (see post 4)

Buy a Toyota.
