Default Seat Parts?

Anyone know a good source (other than the dealer) to find plastic seat trim parts? A "friend" broke one of mine while getting something out of the back seat the other day.

Ok, I got some krazy glue and most of the parts from the broken piece. Time to go to surgery. It's either that or pay 75 bucks at the dealer for a new little plastic bit for the bottom left passenger seat. Ouch.


So nobody knows who might deal in these odds n' ends, even used?

Google 'used auto parts' and you will find a number of sites that will broadcast a parts request to many recycling yards. One or several will email you with an offer. Great service!

depending on color, either ken@britishparts.com or jagtechohio have salvage vehicles that they part out... try either one or both if your frankenstein project falls thru

I was hoping for something interior-specific, but I suppose the generic approach might work too. Thanks.

Give them the interior code. They are not going to send a black when you ordered an ivory.

I have had several parts break. I have since taken parts off and painted the back side with plastic epoxy. And then reinstall them in a few hours. The trick is to get them off with out them shattering. So far I have done the seat belt covers on the seat, seat back release's, power seat control covers, high brake light cover, and engine covers.

I have had very good luck with Coventry West in Atlanta. They sell new and used Jaguar and Rover parts. They've been in business for a long time and are very knowledgable when it comes to Jaguars. We've bought everything from new parts to used engines from them and never had a problem.
