04 XKR Felt Help
Last summer a mouse got undrer the hood and chewed a nasty spot on the felt covering that goes on the front of the utility box located behind the left strut tower. It drives me nuts when I open the hood. I can't find the part number and doubt any dealer would stock it.
Any ideas on where to find one? Anybody have a clean used part to sell. No XK Jags in my area Junk Yards. Thanks, Jim

Whatever that material is, it must be mighty tasty to the little critters. I have seen several cars, including my own, with the exact same damage. Some thin black linen, carefully trimmed and fastened with headliner adhesive can make a pretty decent patch that is barely noticeable.

That's a good idea, I'll stuff a bunch left from winter storage behind there. Maybe a plastic bag Time Capsule too with a Build Sheet, History, and a few photos for the next generation to find.
BTW: I learned something about recylers. I was told when they disassemble the cars and pull the engine, that they cut right trough that area. I got lucky and someone rescued the part.
