OK chaps: How is this very thin piece of plastic rubber held in place? The wing is due to be re-painted any day and I think it needs to be removed.............

it will pry out with a suitable tool , it is ' push fit ' but may have a little something else if it has been removed before

Many thanks - I'll tell them tomorrow. It might make the difference between a good job and a fantastic job!

BB
Can you please post the website where those little black plastic things are available for a couple of quid. I have to do the windscreen on my '93 manual, and they are listed as NLA over here in Canada. I would love to get them so the job can be done properly.
Thanks

Phil,

They are still available from Jaguar. If your dealer can't or won't supply, go to www.jaguarclassicparts.com then select United Kingdom and type in BAC6236 in the Search box at the top of the page.

Good luck

Magic answer - many thanks! I'd looked on the site looking under front wings expecting to find them there. I know better now!

Tks to BB for finding them. The JCP site is great but, as you've found, some parts are not listed quite where you might expect them to be!

JCP are also getting a great deal of part numbers back into production. So, things that were not available last time you looked back be back in production now. There again, things that were available last year may have run out by now.....
