Default X308 Rear seat belt retractor guide

Having a 25 year old car, especially in Texas heat, I always have problems with plastic trim pieces failing and breaking. This time it is the plastic guide that sits on the rear window shelf. The part number is HNC 7108 AD, Anyone know where to find one? Also, there is no slit to feed the seat belt in and it seems to me you would have to disassemble the seat belt mechanism to place it unless you cut a little slit yourself. Thanks

Did you ever source one? I'm looking for the same thing, same color. The slit is built into the part-that's the weak point that makes it break apart.
Lift up one of the other belts to see an intact one-carefully.

You can probably find one if you Google "Jaguar HNC7108AD" and then select "Images".

I finally found one at Auto Reserve Jaguar. I gave this information to someone else quite a while ago and it looks like they are out right now. Mine got so brittle that when I put it in my briefcase, it cracked into 10 pieces. Good luck.

I found one from Black Cherry Jaguar. A little pricy, but if you love your Jag, worth it. The color may not match perfectly but it will still look OK. Mine didn't match exactly but still looks good. my part had discolored anyway with age, so their is no way for a perfect match. https://blackcherryjaguar.com/en-us/...heon-hnc7108ad

They are very hard to find. The link I sent you was the only one I could find on the internet. It would be nice if someone with a 3D printer could print more. These cars are now over 2 decades old and the plastic parts disintegrate and there is no new stock left.

I had done that. It seems like the OP beat me to the only one that was on this side of the pond! There were some "over there", I'll look into the shipping cost.
Thanks for helping.

​​​​​​ I tried everywhere too. I'll have to keep checking. Thanks!
