Does anyone know if the fibre lining panels for a Mk 10 boot are available anywhere? Or is the material available to fabricate them? Also the vinyl tire cover?
Thanks

Ralph it is NOT hardura. The boot floor and spare tire coverings are hardura. You can get a kit from SNG but they subtitute hardura for the sides. Your best bet is to find a parts car and purchase some dye (color I use is palomino sp.) Good luck. George Camp

I think it's called "Hardura". My 3.8 S has a similar material which I find very "hard" and "cold". I prefer the lining material of the Series 3
XJ-6/12 which I can best describe as a type of "automotive velvet corduroy". Recently I found this material at Lowe's in their Flooring Dept. of all places! I bought a roll. It comes in grey or tan. Attached is a picture. I'm going to re-upholster all the panels in the trunk/boot of my 3.8 S with it. Being a fabric, it will make the rear third of the car much quieter, like the XJ trunk/boot which is very cozy and "warm".

I am looking to replace all the fibre (almost a cardboard/fibre board material) which is a light tan and lines the boot. Top (underside of boot lid) is two large pieces One has a small hole for top of spare tire to fit in. Side panels hide the fuel tanks and are shaped to inner fender shape.
I have all the pieces but most are damaged and or stained. Is there a refurbishment process as an alternative to replacing? xkmeister

Hello Ralph,this is Brian in Toronto,
I have had my MK X for the past 30 years and I can look in the trunk for you to identify the answers for you.Please make a list of the questions
that you want to ask and send them to me at:brianscatsatsympatico.ca
Over the years I broke up a couple of them and kept many spare parts.
