Default XJS Convertible Top

Hi all.

Can anyone tell me where I can buy the Softop (roof) for an XJS convertible?
Thanks a million.

They're on Ebay. They sell three qualities "stayfast" $265, "Twilfast", $294, and "German OEM" $394. I ordered the German, it was superb, the exact material as they used in the factory and I recommend this one. I installed the top myself and I took extensive pictures of the dismantling and the re-installation. The task is daunting, but if you are a craftsman you can do it, but you must continue from start to finish without interruption if you've never done a top before as you may very well forget how it goes back on,(unless you do as I did and take explicit pictures of the removal to refer to when you're ready to reinstall). There are other manufacturers but, their best will only be as good as this product and possibly more expensive, (free delivery). I was going to make a post to show a step by step process for the recover, but as I got into it it occurred to me the post would be too intensive and I would have to post too many pictures to complete the (lesson). I would gladly share anything I know about putting a new top on an xjs with you if you like and post any picture you might need to help. Message me or Email. Bud
