I need to have my A pillars recovered on my '04 XK8 convertible. They have lost their adhesive and are sagging. Anyone know if the material is still available and where I could purchase it?
Thanks

Check headliner fabric on ebay. I bought a roll of foam back grey and it was an almost perfect match to the original. It's a lot more material than I needed, but not expensive, so I'll keep it on hand.

 

We purchased our "Cashmere" A-pillar material at our local trusted auto interiors and tops shop not long after we acquired the car in February 2012. They had so many good matches in stock, it took my wife 30 minutes to make up her mind on which one to go with. I bought enough material to cover each A-pillar twice. Paid $10 for it....

 

Thank you both for your info
Harry

 

If the material is just sagging there is a good chance you can just remove, clean and reattach the existing material like I did. You can read about that in my working thread here. Odds are that the header material could use a refresh as well.

You could opt to go for the upgrade and recover all in matching leather like I did recently.

 

Good idea. That looks great
Thanks
Harry

 

I second the above, I received mine in fake leather to match the seats and it was super cheap and easy and looks great

 

The A pillars look great. A little off topic here, but I’m looking at the Chrome gauge bezels. Are those stock? I’d like to dress up my recently acquired 2001 XKR
