- The waIst seals. Sometimes known as window scrapers on our Jaguar XK8s and X100s are getting old.
Finding new replacements is difficult and incredibly expensive.
In this video, I share one possible solution. (assuming you are up for a bit of a project)
Here is a link to the product I used to make my end caps.

That’s a pretty good solution to a potentially very expensive problem
And getting more and more expensive by the month!.
Thanks so much from Canada,just had my back window seal stolen yeah losers.
It comes off really easy as per the other side removal was easy. Thanks again for the great video cheers.
Sorry to hear that James. Some people really are disgusting examples of humanity.
They are just losers jealous is all I can figure. I'm hopeful I can find one any suggestions. Oh I think I found a. Solution to my back windows not retracting ones I know for sure I will post . I'm thinking it's a bad relay.
Very clever idea John. I’m thinking of taking mine off and refurbish them Now I know what to do. Many thanks 👍
Good luck Steve👍
Hello John,
I'll send some pics of my waist seals tomorrow, great video again mate.
Thank you,
Kon
Jon!
great video John. I think the bright finish looks better than original. The later Aluminium XK's were done in bright finish
thanks Steve
excellent video John, its good watching the master a work.
🤗 too kind
Hi John. Great video and a great resto-mod. Thanks for sharing 👍
thanks
Brilliant John, I've been waiting to see this one 🙂
Looking at SNG just now they are offering parts at quite decent prices, tens of pounds!
Thanks John. I was aware of the mini seals, but how to finish the ends... had never come across Sugru before, looks interesting stuff, great solution.
Sugru is great. Once you have played with it, you go looking for things to fix with it😁
I'm just going to have to get some now😁
Great video John. Awesome advices!
Thanks
Hi John great videos could you possibly supply me the part number for the waist seals from the mini r50/51 as when I tried at the parts department they fobbed me off with ( need a vin number or reg ) I assume it is to make sure it is the correct part that is ordered as they do not carry stock.
Excellent thank you.
Very nice job John! Mine (coupe) are slowly degrading but not bad enough for me to want to rip them off yet. I think I'd probably want to paint mine, rather than the bright finish.
I will try restoring and respraying my old ones just out of interest, but they are a long way down on my to do list
A slim piece of wood between the pry tool and seal would be more contollable? \My front one has split so must act!
Need motor for power window in rear window in a Jaguar XK8 convertible
great tip
Thanks
Could it be a failsafe so that a mechanic could make sure he doesn't lock the trunk accidently. If you engage it like you did w button down you obviously can't lock yourself out without returning it up?
Hi John, you mention that the top of the doors have a curved profile whereas the mini doors do not. This means, when initially positioning the mini strips the middle wants to sit almost a cm too high. The obvious solution is to use a strong adhesive but I wondered what the concensus is on the best method. Maybe closing the gap in the mini seals so that they fit tighter over the metal ridge on the Jag doors, or attempting to bend the mini seals. Any suggestions very welcome!!!! Thanks, Phil
Do have the part number for the mini waist seals ? Thank you and a great video as always
John do you have a similar detail on removing the A- pillar metal trim to replace the Renner.

Hi John. I know you say that you're not providing dimensions, but do you know roughly how long the 'virgin' Mini waist seals are please? As you know, I'm interested in putting them on my XJ8 (the ones on my XK8 are fine), but the XJ seals are 940mm long, both front and rear, quite a bit more than the XK8. Cheers.
No 🤔. we need to follow mini owners into car parks with a tape measure🤣
Sorry I disappeared the missus called!
Hey Jonathan, what colours your Jag I would have probably seen it at the supercharged Saturday
Jaguar call it midnight blue, its black!
Did we chat about British racing green/ emerald green cars and use of the J gate ?
@@jonathanslade2358 I dont think that was myself but I'm certain I did see your Jag! I'll look out for you again next time for October if you're there.
@@SuperchargedShift I've replaced my gingercators with silver leapers so my car is quite easy to spot
Waste seal? What a waist.
Doh😔. Cheers mate👍
