There might be a post about this, but I wasn't able to find it. The curved part of chrome on the rear driver side door came off and I need to replace it. Can someone recommend where I can get a replacement?

Thanks

 

Welcome to the forum,

Did these parts come of a car, your house or a diner?

You need to give some clues to get useful help. Model year etc.

 

Welcome aboard.

I agree with Norri, as my crystal ball left the house with the kids, no longer needed.

I reckon its an S Type??. My RHR has lifted also.

 

LOL, sorry I was pretty tired last night when I posted the question. The type car car would help eh? I have a 2002 X-Type. By the way, I found today that you can polish the old chrome using rubbing compound and drill with a polishing disk. I will touch it up with some polishing compound but my chrome used to look pretty ratty and now it SHINES.

 

Welcome to the forum jaxam1,

I think you may be referring to the Quarter Glass Finisher (item 19)?



If so, it's available separately but will be a dealer only part unless you go for a used item.

Look at this thread for an S Type https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...ics-faq-29860/ they may be similar.
The strips are silly money to replace

 

Thx for the info. I will update my profile.

That is what I am looking for.

 

Regarding the cleaning. Yes, I recommend/use a rubbing compound, then I "seal" the chrome with a paste wax. Then I use my polishing disk/ball on the area and, yes, it shines just like a mirror. Good luck and welcome to the Forum. Please post some pictures of your vehicle when you are able. Bill in Ohio.

 

FYI - I was able to get the part for 41.75L at XJK Independent Jaguar Specialists, Jaguar Parts and Servicing in Staffordshire They seem to have everything and aren't super expensive. Thanks for your help. Here's a pic of my car before I bought it and spiffed it up and after I started working on it.
