Hi
Any thoughts on the replacement linings that are advertised? There is one at c£210 at www.jaguarheadlinings.com.
I have a 98 XJ8 swb.
Just seen another thread about the bonnet leaper. Mine has one fitted. Does that mean it was fitted as non-standard after thought? If that's the case, anyone know what marque or year that they were last fitted as standard.

Cheers

Fitted one of these to my Jag XJS a few months ago. No complaints at all. Headlining appears to be good quality. Fitting easy once I worked out how to get the old one off. Would highly recommend them.

After a succession of Saab 900's and spending my life with the headlining on my eerr head. A good stop gap measure is to get a can of aerosol contact adhesive and spray it liberally between the material and its backing. It won't last forever but in my case gave me another year before it started drooping again, a five pound five minute fix. I suspect replacement would be pretty expensive and a not too complicated but involved and time consuming.

Mine's help up with loads of little pins pushed into the insulation/sound deadening (whatever it is) behind it. Looks like pretty stars when you glance up hehe
