I was looking for a cover for my 2005 XK8, beige or black will do. Online they are $400 USD which is insane for a sheet of vinyl. Are there any other options out there or even a template where someone can cuty their own out of vinyl or another material?

 

I recommend this vendor from ebay. I bought mine 10 years ago. I got the leaper embroidered and the leather matched my interior color. Contact him and you can get a quote. Mine came with a high quality storage case. I have never regretted the purchase.

Here is a pic of the runner end, looks a little different than the one provided but I see there is no insert if there should be one? Looked everywhere and only found a clean small peice of plastic an dits not discolored like this end of the runner.. If Im missing it can I substitute with anything metalic?. Also if I can have some further help please. I have the top down but it wont lock down and pops up about an inch. NOthing in the manual, Thanks to all that have replied.

 

I think every convertible owner should have this- it's icing on the cake and completes the look. Very roadster-ey with it on. I picked up mine in like-new condition from eBay several years ago for about $150, is OE.

 

Every convertible owner should have what?
