On another common Jag interior condition, how is your wood grain? Mine has some fading and was wondering if you had success in restoring them. Perhaps a video on this?
Hi Nathan, unfortunately my wood veneer is suffering from the "cloudiness" issue which I understand is very common for 2000-2001 vehicles. I tried the "hair dryer" method with literally 0 success. Not sure what else to do other than remove all the pieces and take them to a woodworking specialist who would sand them down and re-apply the finish. I suspect that would be costly, haven't explored it at all. Of course, wrapping all the pieces in some nice-looking wrap is an option, but I feel that would take away from the originality and charm of the car.

Did this Perfect Solution! No more annoying play on my front seats. Thank you!
Great to hear! Cheers, Nathan!
I now own 2 xk8s and ive never noticed this!
Hi Jonathan, maybe your vehicles still have the factory plastic sheathing in place and this is a non-issue for your seats :) Lucky!
Great tip. Thank you for you time. 👍
Thank you, Steven!
Awesome! I’ve always hated that!!
Same here! The good news is that the fix is super easy :) Cheers!
