Just replaced my XJS with this 1991 XJ 6. So far so good, came thru inspection with one minor issue. Have some questions as this is a new Model for me.
Side door moldings, I got too close with orbital and compound, took some paint? finish off. Are these moldings chrome or may have been painted over. I'm going to attach some photos, I hope you can see what I'm talking about. Its


toward the front of the rear door.
At a full stop for a few minutes I get a push back from the brake pedal, seems to happen on hot days, not sure that it maters.
Other than that I am really pleased with this vehicle.

 

They used to come as a set or individually at the parts counter but are likely NLA by now.

I used to have a complete set that I never installed on my 1991 XJ40 but I don't know if I still have it or sold it?

They are 'stuck on' with double sided 'sticky-tape' so a heat gun would probably be required to remove.

 

Hi Captain Bob 369,

Those sets are definitely No Longer Available from Jaguar. When the chrome-plated bead detail on my '93 began to deteriorate, I scuff-sanded and degreased the chrome, masked off the black rubber sections and bodywork, and spray-painted the bead detail with metallic silver paint designed for plastic (Rustoleum, I think). It turned out looking great and was still in great condition when I sold the car.

If you have to remove the trim, as Bob mentioned use a hair dryer or heat gun applied with great care to avoid damaging the paint, and use a piece of monofilament fishing line like a cheese cutter to pull through the double-sided tape.

Cheers,

Don

 

Thank you both, great information.
