Default Top Replacement

I have a 1997 XK8 that I am looking for a technical bulletin or some detail instructions on replacing the canvas top. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Instructions can be found in JTIS. See this link for alternatives to downloading JTIS: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...ts-data-29800/

Unfortunately these instructions are not all that great and this is quite a complex top.

Also, to tension and align a new top properly takes experience. Too tight and the new top or the frame can be damaged. Too loose and it will look terrible. This is one job that is best done by an car upholstery shop experienced in convertible tops.
