I think it's a fairly common issue on the X-Types (particualrly the older ones like mine), where the window seal/trim on the exterior starts to bubble. Mine have the typical bubbling half-way along on the front windows, but the rears are starting to go as well. I'm interested to change them as I think it will make the car look a lot smarter. Does anyone have any advice where might be best to buy them? I live in Belgium but with the Coronavirus it"s not a big deal as everything nead to be ordered online these days.

I've been quoted a horrendous amount by a Jaguar parts specialist. Alternatively I've found a chrome option (although mine are origianlly black) on eBay:

Has anyone tried these and do they work, as they are an none OEM part?

Many thanks!!

Hi there. I’ve got the exact same problem with my x type. Bothe rear window trims have bubbled up. I bought used ones from EBay. And now am going to spray them Matt black as my existing ones are black. So it’s not difficult to replace. Good luck.
KIND REGARDS,
