XK8 Convertible Roof Frame Crack
Hello All,
I've only has my XK8 a few months, but noticed a little while ago there was a crack in the passenger side (US car) convertible frame arm - the one at the front right that goes to the windshield frame (see pictures). Apart from the the roof is in great shape and has no issues. I wonder if a previous owner placed a heavy item on that side of the car when the roof was retracted perhaps? Any suggestions? Clearly I would rather not replace the whole roof mechanism. Can that piece we swapped out? I was wondering if wrapping some fibrefix tape around the offending area might buy me some time. Thanks! https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jag...9c2bc7820f.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jag...0d48f8b7d4.jpg |
Perhaps something like this happened. :icon_omg:

I did wonder what with 4th July recently....😳 Was at my local mechanics shop today to sort out a few issues and they are going to work on a fix when I drop her off with them next week, so hopefully it’s a non-event. It was 101f today - was unpleasantly surprised by how hot the metal door handles were! ☀️ |
