A leaky hydraulic cylinder has ruined the weather stripping on my 07 XKR. Any idea how this is removed so I can replace it?

 

It is referred to as belt moulding and is friction fitted so it just pulls straight off.

 

As jahummer says, it pulls off. I had to replace mine as it was corroded. Start at the handle-end of the door, with the window down, and use your thumbs to push up on the moulding. If it won't budge, carefully use a plastic trim-remover tool to get in between the trim and the door and lever it a little. Once you have it eased away from the door, it will gradually push off as you work down the length of it. The trim piece sits on a small 'ledge' on top of the door. Mine was held on with four metal retaining clips but these had started to corrode and since metal (steel) to aluminium is not a great idea, I removed these and threw them away. The trim fits tightly enough onto the door 'ledge' that they are not needed, and I wanted to avoid future corrosion issues. I did this about a year ago and the trim pieces on both sides are still perfectly installed.

I did have a thread on it, or part of someone else's thread, but Search isn't showing it.

 

Found it!

Thanks! That thread is perfect. Now to find the weather strip without paying $$$$$, I might call junkyards with XKs and see if they'll send me one.

 

Might you have it refinished?

 

My aluminum is perfectly fine, it's the rubber that is wiggly and warped and looks like trash. I'm not aware of any process that could fix that outside of replacement

I like my Titan lifts but this leaky cylinder from the factory is causing all kinds of problems.

 

Ok, I was wondering how hydraulic fluid got there!

 

It ruined the window strips on both of my Jaguars.

My other lift is great though.
