Are the dash pads for the 87 XJ6 available?
Either aftermarket, used or maybe reproductions?
Thanks

Can't say if they are available new, but I've had pretty good luck at Pick n Pull junk- er, I mean recycling yards. I know there are are several in California so there may be one not too far from your. These dashes (aka "crash rolls" in Jag-speak) don't usually split as they age, so the quality of a used one should be fine.

If you want new, one good source you may be familiar with is SNG Barratt. They seem to have nearly everything. I think they are a forum sponsor as well.

Good luck,
Andrew.

 

I'm fairly certain it is NLA---no longer available--from Jaguar.

An alternative, if a good used one doesn't pan out, is a 'cap'

I've had good luck with those on other cars.

Or:


1. David Boger aka everydayxj for a good used pad.


2. Can't come up with the name. but, a facility ion Van Nuys CA rejuvenates pads from many cars. They did a nice job for my son's 64 Chrysler 300K. Two tries, but cheerfully redid it much better.


3. The local auto upholstery shop just might. I've seen a pair of visors redone in tht fashion. Better than original and the visrs are similarly configured as tot he crash roll/dash pad.


4. Just get a rug made to cover it. My cars have them to protect the underlying vinyl. Look better to me!!!
