Hi all;

A great day has arrived and I'm the proud new owner of a white 89 XJS convertible with blue top, 34K miles with color coded lattice rims. I have a great mechanic in Kevin from RVC Auto in Rockville Center NY and am looking forward to getting the vehicle back into tip top shape. The car is quite driveable but the AC needs work.

I am looking for advice on where to obtain a tonneau cover for when the top is down. I want a quality cover, preferably OEM material. Also I was wondering if I can get a quality, correct battery from Amazon, or just pick one up here in Nassau County LI--it currently has a substandard battery not meant for this car. Furthermore, the headliner needs replacing and I wasn't sure if the upholsterer will try to get me to purchase a new top (whulich is in good shape), or should I make sure that the headliner is replaced and leave the original top. Also, if anyone has had experiences with getting a new ski slope center console with cup holders I would appreciate any advice there. I can do light maintenance but nothing too technical. I already ordered struts for the boot and bonnet. They were shot. Final issue is the passenger quarter window that stopped going up or down. It's stuck down at this time. Should I pick.up a new motor and try the repair or let my mechanic handle it.

Thanks all and God bless.
