I need two new parts I need suede to redo the headliner and secondly who else thinks the dash of the XKR is horrible I need to replace it. The sun shrank it and not enough material to streatch it and reapply the leather

Well, I’m not in Tx, I keep her in the garage, and my dash is fine. But you’re not alone, of course. many have complained about the shrinking leather.

The way I see it you have 3 choices
1 stick with leather and take into account shrinkage.
2 use a vinyl and we all know what happens to cheap vinyl in the sun.
3 get it stretched and fixed and move from Tx…

Have you seen the other posts?
Cheers!

I can help you out with the suede. I have shipped a product called Passion Suede to many forum members. It is beautiful quality, better than the OEM suede. And it only costs $5.10/yd. Let me know if you need anything.
