Hello,

I am Jochen from Germany, and search hardly for a replacement Top for a 1987 Hess & Eisenhardt Convertible.
I found out that this company was burned down somewhen after production of this Jags. Does somebody know a place to get a new Softtop for this car?

Would really appreciate if someone could help me in this case as everybody I've asked here can't help....

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Jochen

 

Try eBay. Many places are making replacement soft tops for the older cars and the pricing is reasonable.

 

One thing on installing the top - I can't recall exactly what the details are, but apparently there is something of a trick to actually getting the new roof to be properly stretched over the frame. The XJS roof has the same fastening system as a VW roof BUT they allow far less of the cord/cable to DO the fastening. The result is that my installer mentioned that it takes two people to stretch it properly tight. AND they recommended not putting the roof down for two weeks after installation to allow the farbric to stretch and mold properly onto the frame. Plus of course using actual OEM Jaguar (still available from dealers) seals - not universal fit ones - when putting the window back in. Hope this helps.....
