Hello,

Can anyone tell me? The antenna (on right rear quarter) of my 1990 XJS seems to be missing (deteriorated) the grommet. Has anyone replaced this? How do you replace it, and where can I get a new one?

Thank you,

Hello Dwight, David and Others,

The antenna grommet arived... It looks like it is a top and bottom piece, but I have not tried to pull it apart and/or look at any manuals yet.

Does anyone have any suggestions and/or hints on how to remove the remains of the old grommet and install the new grommet?

Thank you in advance,

I just saw the black grommet for xjs listed on ebay earlier tonight; might also try that! just do advanced search in automotive for jag grommet and it should come right up.

Hi Mike,

I've been meaning to post the same request. Need to replace mine too. (Thanks Dwight for the link)

Nice cat Mike. Saw the pictures in the gallery. Looks brand new!

If you are new to owning a V12 XJ-S you should check out Kirby Palm's book; it is an absolute wealth of information (it tends to stress what can go wrong with an XJ-S) - better to be warned and take action rather that find out after the fact.

Here is the link to download the PDF:

Thank you... for the JagBits suggestion... And the compliment on the XJ-S. I put some other pictures in the Gallery area as well. So far I have been very happy with it. It had 37,000 miles on it 2 months ago when I found it. I drove it from New Jersey to Florida, only stopping for gas and had no problems. To date, absolutely everything works on the her.
