New trim question. I find myself, all of a sudden, missing the outside window trim on the left rear quarter glass. It's the one with the squeegee that keeps water out of the lower window. Do these fall off regularly?
The one on the passenger side has a grey painted area along it.
It was there 2 days ago, wtf?

 

Seriously people, I need the trim piece! Anyone? If you know anyone that has one or where I can get it....POST IT!

 

Trim items are the first to disappear from Jaguar inventory after a model is superseded and they become hard to find. UK dealers don't carry this part and I suspect US dealers will be the same unless they have old stock.

The missing piece sounds like the Rear Quarter Glass Waist Seal.

As Graham has said - they are available but they are expensive.
It is only held on by friction, so (as happened with me) when the rear quarter window rises, it takes the trim with it and pushes it off.
I got mine from S N G Barratt UK, so shouldn't be a problem in the U.S.

 

<p>also check the forum classifieds - Autobahn kid may have these as he has an XK he is parting</p>

 

Graham, David, Steve;
It is in fact the rear quarter window waist seal. I looked it up n my CD ROM Manual. SNG doesn't list that exact piece, but I suspect I could call them. The rear quarter finisher for the coupe is around $600.!! That's gonna stay gone at that rate.
I left a note on it to autobahn kid. We shall see.

 

This ................... ?



£145.00 (including tax) here in the UK. That's around $225 US

All available from S N G Barratt but not cheap !!

 

I looked and they are different. And my vin is SAJA42BXYPA03504. I would gues they are all dark grey metallic below the wiper. Mine a USA LEFT HAND DRIVE, and it's the one on the drivers rear quarter.

 

It's not the felt, of course. It the outside belt-waist trim (friction fit wiper?SMH).

 

Well it's part number HJA 5755CC . Coventry $277.00 + ship. JESUS H. CHRISTMAS!!
SNG $217.59 inc tax. Gonna try and find used. But with everyone's help I at least know what I am looking for.
Many thanks to all, guess it's a real early XKR.
THANKS AGAIN

After reading this I must thank my wife who saw my passenger side waist trim fly off in the mirror. Saved me some cash. now fitted with a little contact glue. Going to go out and glue the other. Thanks for the cost info.

 

JAGBITS+++++++++, They are the best. They sent not the part I ordered but the one I t fits on. I email them at 5:0 PM EST. Day got Back to me right away after I sent the a picture in the email and a picture of the part they sent (the plate that the trim sets on.
Dan said they made a mistake pulling the belt-waist trim piece and they would send it right out. He also said that I didn't need to return the other part, just keep it and he would eat the shipping.
This was the single most wonderful experience I have ever had with a parts house!
THANK YOU EVERYONE INCLUDING Dan at JAGBITS IS A FIRST CLASS OPERATION AND THEY ARE THE TOP TIER OF PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH. I AND GOING TO PUT IT AND THE RIGHTONE ON WITH Shoe Goo (already did thr right rear quarter) the suff is stronger than the almighty. Should work fine.
Thanks to all!!!!
