Maybe others here have had this issue. On my 2008 XK coupe it seems like people reclined the seats so far back the seat back hit the seat belt guides on the rear seat side panels breaking the piece under the trim that the guides clip into. The guides are in perfect shape just the clip under the panel is dislodged and I am sure broken in places so you can't get the guides to seat properly. I tried searching the forum but couldn't find exactly what I am looking for as far as any repairs. Replacements are a bit pricey. Parts sites say the other years wont fit the 2008 XK. Is that right? I can probably repair them using my plastic welding kit and maybe a little epoxy rather then spend a ton of money for full replacements.

Thanks

Firstly, how can anyone actually drive like that?!? Perhaps its like a hole in the silencer and makes the car faster, lol.

Your car parts sites are wrong. https://parts.jaguarlandroverclassic.../brand/jaguar/

 

There's a company in Poland that 3d prints rare Jag parts. https://octoclassic.com/product-category/jaguar/xk

 

Thanks, I'm in the states so ordering from overseas is out I have has too many bad experiences.

 

The actual part that is broken is highlighted in red. The interior panels are in excellent shape I really do not want to buy whole new panels if possible. One of the guys in my local Jaguar Group has a source somewhere in Florida that specializes in Jaguar parts. I'll see him at out next meeting.
