It's an easy DIY repair. I used the 3M adhesive but it didn't last very long. What worked for me was Rhino Glue and Suck N Clamps. Details are in the thread posted above, including photos. Look for my posts.

P.S. See https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/w...d.php?t=201250

Stuart,

Thanks for the expanded details. For obvious reasons, I don't pay too much attention to convertible top threads. I've added a link to your repair procedure thread in the XK/XKR - 'How To' / DIY Repair & Maintenance sticky under a new CONVERTIBLE TOP section.
