Wind Deflector for XK8 Convertible

[DougX]

Does anyone own a XK8 convertible which has the deflector as shown in the picture below. It fits into the side leather adjacent to the rear passenger seats, NOT into the seat belt fixing as many do. If so, can you get in touch. Not interested in any other type wind deflector.

UPDATE: For anyone interested, I have now discovered that this part is a Jaguar Part No. C2N 2266. Unfortunately, I can’t find any supplier of this deflector. Anyone any ideas?

Hi Doug,

Genuine Jaguar parts for the X-100 model of the Modern XK (like yours) will be in very short supply. However if you type 'wind deflector Jaguar XK8' into your search engine (Google) there are hundreds of hits for similar looking versions. You should be aware that ALL wind deflectors for the X-100 require you to drill holes in the rear trim of your car. One of the recurrent hits is for Cabrio Supply for GBP 160.

Hi Jim, thanks for your comments, but none of those shown - apart from 1 on eBay for £750!!! - appear to be the same fitting as mine.

Unbelievable, the seller on e-bay has increased the price of this wind deflector to £1,267.50 plus £18.99 postage. Don’t buy it!!!
