Default Leaky Quarter panels

Hi all... Had my 99 XK8 a few months. have not dared to try the conv top other than in manual mode. Still feeling the car out, plus weather has not been convertible warm enough yet... Must have hit the pwr top button at some point as my left quarter near the wheel is leaking hydo fluid. Further checking is a wet piston ram. Looks like I need a ram or 2, hoses look weak and not sure where the seepage ( not much) in the header interior lamp area is coming from. Hose, connection, or latch mech. Any recommendations where to obtain quality updated parts?? I'm a guessing its not Jaguar?? REB, Rich

Welcome to the forum reb1999,

I've moved your question from North East US Region to XK8/XKR forum. Members here with the same model will be able to help.

Please follow this link New Member Area - Intro a MUST - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the New Member Area - Intro a MUST forum and post some info about yourself and your vehicle for all members to see. In return you'll get a proper welcome and some useful advice about posting to the forum.
