XK150 2006 Convertible roof problems

[sportbrake]

With roof opened the two small rectangualer closing panels remain open. It seems the thin cords have somehow broken. Jaguar is quoting £344 for the parts (whole units) which seems very excessive when I only need the two small 'pistons'. Has anyone esle had this problem and found a cheaper fix? Thanks

I'd suggest trying one of the specialist Jaguar breakers like Eurojag. There are several which advertise in the back of the Jaguar Enthusiast magazine. Mike.

Thank you Mike. I will give them a try. Chris
