Default Ouch!

I was fortunate enough to find the pieces which had broken off. JB Weld did the trick.

Now, it somebody does find those pieces, that would be great.

Also, a source for the actual pins would be nice too. I'm using something close but they either are too loose or too tight!

The one in the bottom left is available from Jag.

As Race Diagnostics says - the one that fits at the rear top is theoretically available as a separate part - C2N 3836 - but Jaguar no longer supply them, and at least in the UK, they are listed as "no longer available" at all Jaguar Dealerships and the other parts suppliers (Britparts, SNG Barratt etc.) You may have more luck in the US where the market is arguably rather bigger.
The others are only available as part of the door card itself.
I was very lucky - another forum member had a spare which he very kindly let me have - there may be another Good Samaritan reading this post who would do likewise. Otherwise, it might be possible to repair the broken ones with some thin alumin(i)um "top hats" or get a door card from a breakers (parter-outer ?) and change the good ones over. They are fairly easy to remove with a wood chisel and/or craft knife, and two-part epoxy glue will give more than sufficient grip to hold them on.
Whichever route you take, mark the existing location with clear pencil lines - the position is fairly precise if you want them to match up with the holes in the door frame.
Cheers,
David.

Deelli,
I came across this listing on ebay a few minutes ago. Seems a bit expensive, but if they're not available it might be worth it.

Difficult to be sure from the Ebay listing, but I'm not sure the one you need the most and the one that gets broken the most and the one that is theoretically available as a separate part - the top rear clip - is part of that kit. It has a triangular base and I can't see one like that in the pictures.
This is my broken one :

I don't see that one either, think I see the other that I need. I don't know which of these break most often.
