Default Window Strip Replacement

I've got a Jaguar XJR 2001 model where the window strip has come away from the door, possibly because of rust but I cannot be sure. Jaguar only have chrome replacements but my car is black - any ideas?

Welcome Daz01, ...please introduce yourself in the New Members Forum.

As for your issue, are you speaking of the bottom strip along the window glass and/or the strip along the roof line?

Is what you are speaking on this exploded view:

If you're talking about the bit that runs between the body and the glass, these are better known as waist seals. The black ones were a mainly European thing, not seen in the USA where nearly all X308's had chrome versions.

The bad news is good ones are hard to find in the UK, they are made of aluminium encased in rubber and they tend to bubble and burst with our climate. New ones from Jaguar are £200+ per window!! However, it is possible to paint chrome ones if you dull the chrome down, use suitable primer and satin black paint.

Welcome Simonact1...this is the X308 forum, yours is a X400, so you may wish to post there also. But in any case you can check the Regional forum and/or post there. Have you tried ebay yet? Also, check the Marketplace above, ...top task bar on the left. Many members have parts either new or parting out vehicles for sale or you can post a WTB (want to buy) ad. I believe you need a few more posts to put in an ad. Be sure to go to The New Member Area https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...-intro-must-5/ ...for the rules regarding that and be sure to introduce yourself and your Jaguar to the community.
