Anyone know of a salvage yard (regardless of location), that has a late model XKR in stock? I'm looking for a relatively obscure part. Fairly easy to find larger salvaged parts, but I'm in need of a "trunk vent cover". About a 5" x 8" plastic vent. OEM is $100. Thinking surely there's a salvaged XKR out there that could sell me this dinky part for low $$. Painful to pay OEM for a part that more cosmetic than anything.

Thanks

 

Try Jaguar Heaven, out in California. Had some luck with them for a few interior bits on my '05, but I'm not sure if they can help with your '10.

I'll give it a shot. Thanks

 

It's been a while since I've been by here, but they had several Jags including an XKR. In Tampa, FL: Langston's Quality Used Auto Parts | Ford Chevy and Dodge Parts Tampa

Thanks guys. I've e-mailed all contacts. Still no luck so far, but waiting for a few to reply. I'll let you know if I find someome with a late model XK.

 

rsw1,
While perusing ebay about an hour ago (Friday 4pm pst) I happened to come across the part you are looking for, I believe. Here is the link. Hope it's what you need.

Thanks Tberg. I saw that part and even talked to the seller. He gave me the part number, but Jaguar said it was a Ford part # and couldn't cross-reference. I'd buy it but can't confirm it will fit a 2010. Anyone know if misc parts like this are universal across the late model XKR's.? I'd think so, but.....

 

Is it the Vent Box you are looking for?

If so, there's three P/N changes across the XK model years.

Just a clarification if anyone is confused. Parts shown in post 7 & post 9 are 2 different parts. The ebay part from post 7 is an access vent that goes on the interior trim portion that lines the sidewalls of the trunk.

The part shown in post 9 is a vent that snaps into the aluminum of the shell of the car on the outside of the car which is hidden under the sides of the bumper.

If you need the piece that goes in the trunk on the carpet liner, the part on the ebay listing is the correct one.

Also, just a heads up that even though they list different part numbers, the design and form of the part is likely identical. When Jaguar switches manufacturers for a specific part, the part is assigned a new part number. I ran into this for a moulding piece I was buying for my windshield wipers.
