Doug, AFAIK the lens/body seal isn't available separately.
I'd suggest that you run a bead of clear RTV around the lens and fix it that way. I haven't done this on the Jag, but had a good result on my son's Golf.
However, member DaveInVA did, on his XK8:

You can clean the mating surfaces with a little methylated spirit or isopropyl alcohol, but note Dave's warning about not touching the reflective coating.
Good luck,
Mike
