Dusty convertible top
I have had my XK8 a few months now and have had the top down mostly. I noticed I get a lot of dust in the top and headliner even when using the tonneau cover. Is this normal?
I was thinking of getting a painters drop cloth to cover the top between the tonneau cover but thought someone else may have come across a better solution

I'll try the drop cloth to see if that helps.

Dirty roof
as you say it permeates thru the headliner.
Thanks for the info

i imagine that one could remove the headliner and somehow seal the pad so that it does not deteriorate further then reinstall the headliner. any product applied should not contain a solvent like Xylene as such could dissolve the material. Perhaps brushing on some shellac would do the trick. it is not UV that damages it. the heat causes the breakdown along with routine air pollution.

'Eventually replace it all' is the solution I've come up with, but am interested if others have ideas.
