I had a small area on the dash of my 2010 XK Convert,that delaminated and bubbled up, maybe an area 4" x 6". It was hard to see because of it's location and how little it really lifted.
I've read on here how other have solved this issue, but the problem was so small I didn't want to mess with it.
A few days ago the temps reached 80 degrees with unlimited sun. First time this year to lower the top and enjoyed the morning driving around doing errands.
Parked the car in the drive where it sat for about 4 hours in the sun. Black interior does not do well in direct sunlight for that long and just about BBQ'd my butt when I sat down.
I felt the dash and it was hot to the touch and I thought now may be the time to try and flatten out my bubble.
I have a 25# bag of lead bird shot in a canvas bag that I placed over the bubble, nice thing about the bag and shot is that easily conforms to the contour of the dash, no flat spots, and a evenly distributed weight over the intended area. Left it in place over night and most of the next day . When I removed the bag the bubble was gone and no apparent damage to the leather. For the past 3 days it's held, treated the dash with some leather conditioner and we'll see if everything stays put.

 

Should have take a "Before" shot also

 

Well done, looks good, hope it stays that way. That is a good idea and certainly worth a shot to reattach to the adhesive.

 

Oh, we have Mr. Funny guy here.

 

Very good to hear, I have a similar issue in approx the same area, I will definitely give this a try.
thank you for the idea.

 

Get yourself a shade!! Best investment I've made. The Jaguar one fits perfectly and makes a huge difference in interior temps. Obviously it also prevents direct sunlight from hitting the leather.

 

i have this and second all of that, really big difference in the texas heat! well worth it!

 

Pun intended

 

My 2009 XKR Portfolio has dash delimitation. Im sick over it. Am going to try to get it stretched glued and staples down. Where did you get the sunshade? That looks perfect!

 

The "official" Jaguar-branded custom fit (X150) foldable rigid reflective windshield sunshade sold by Jaguar dealers is no longer available. It was made by CoverCraft and is still available on eBay without any printing.
Custom fit Jaguar X150 Windshield Sunshade

 

Not a perfect fit, but my son got it for me and it appeals to my sense of humor...

 

That looks like a good one. Can you tell me the brand and/or where you bought it?
Thanks.

 

the bubble might be gone only cause the weight on to pushed it down without an adheasive under it it will still be loose

 

I will say the factory sun shades fits the best of any I have seen. I have an XJ so a different car but with the giant size windshield many don't give good coverage and don't stay in place.
My only complaint is the shade is so big even when folded that it's difficult to store. So I put it in the trunk which makes it more work to take out and use. Jaguar does supply a storage bag so the shade does not get beat up over time.
