FOAM INJECTION
Where any of the sections shown in the illustration are renewed, expanded foam must be introduced into the area on
completion of all other repair / refinishin g / protective processes. Tape should be applied to the areas indicated by arrows to ensure full travel of foam along the holl ow sections.Expanded foam should be introd uced at the points circled. Items such as sliding roof drain tubes and the harness from the rear left-hand bulkhead through to the luggage compartment, must be in
position before the introduction of foam.

OBSCURATION BANDS
To mask unsightly areas between panels, through gaps and under bonded glass, matt black paint with heat resistance of
40° to 120°C is applied in the areas indicated by hatching and asterisks.
• NOTE: This process is not requ ired on dark colored vehicles.

ANTI-THEFT LABELS
Original Components
Primer surfacerJMS 20.29.11
Base color and clear lacquerJMS 20.29.09

On North American specification vehicles, the VIN is marked on all major external panels, certain structural members and
power / transmission units. The labels ca rrying this information are known as 'Label-Anti-theft VIN (USA body panel only)'
or 'Label-Anti-theft-Engine and Gearbo x (U.S.A. only),' drawing reference A .
Replacement Components
Only genuine Jaguar replacement parts must be used in the repair of a vehicle. Furthermore, any new parts replacing items
carrying a VIN label must have either 'Label-Anti-theft Replacement Part (USA body panel only)' or 'Label-Anti-theft
Replacement Part-Engine and Gearbox (U.S.A . only),' drawing reference B , fitted in a different location to the previous
label.
A protective mask used to prevent the replacement part la bel from being damaged or obscured during the refinishing /
protection processes, must be remo ved prior to customer hand-over.
Procurement
Anti-theft labels may only be ordered from Jaguar Cars through :
Product Compliance Dept.,
Jaguar Inc.,
555 MacArthur Blvd.,
Mahwah
NJ 07430

Label Fitting Process
CAUTION: It is a requirement of United States of America federal law th at the protective mask is removed from all
anti-theft labels after performing painting and rustproofing operations. Fail ure to comply with this requirement may render
both the manufacturer and the de aler in violation of the law.
• NOTE: Any attempt to remove an anti-t heft label will destroy that label. Ensure correct location before affixing.
Using a suitable solvent clean the area where the anti-theft label is to be affixed. Peel the backing from the label and
position on the panel. Carry out all refini shing / protection processes. Remove the anti-theft label protective mask prior to
vehicle handover to the customer.

APPLICATION OF STONE CHIP PROTECTION
Apply approved material to the areas indicated by hatching.

REPAIR OF PAINTED COACHLINES
Panel Preparation
Existing painted coachlines can be removed using a suitable soft cloth moistened with thinners and/or acetone.
New coachlines must be applied over the lacquer coat, using two-pack 'solid' paints (ie non-metallic).
• NOTE: Lacquer must not be applied over the coachlines.
Where applicable, refinish the repaired panel (s), followin g Jaguar approved paint re-finishing procedures, including
application and drying of the two-pack lacquer coat.

For coachline specifications, see page? .
Tape Application
Apply a suitable length of 3M "Fine Line Striping Tape" to the panel. Having suitably applied the tape, which is slit into 8
strips, each 3mm wide, the appr opriate strip may then be peeled away to expose the lacquer coat below (Refer to
Application of Striping Tape Drawing). The paint may then be applied by hand brush or a suitable air-brush. The remaining
tape provides masking during paint applicat ion and drying. Careful positioning of the masking tape is necessary, particularly
when the repair is confined to a single panel and the newly painted coachline mu st conform to coachlines on adjacent
panels.
Where it is necessary to match an existing 1.5mm coachline, two tec hniques are available:
Proceed as above, to expose a 3mm strip of lacquer coat. Using either a standard masking tape, or a 3M "Fine Line Masking
Tape" applied over the striping tape, reduce the width of the exposed strip to 1.5mm.
Use a suitable combination of standard mask ing tape, together with 3M "Fine Line Striping Tape" if desired, to achieve an
unmasked strip 1.5mm wide in the correct position on the panel.
After application of the tape, use a fine-g rit wet-and-dry paper to lightly 'flat' the exposed surface, before application of
paint.

Coachline Locations
The coachline locations on the side of XJ Sport and supercharged models are illustrated below, for all other models refer to
the drawing under 'Other Models'.
XJ Sport and XJR8

Inset A, shows the 25° - 35°angled cut-away at front edge. The front end of the coachlines should terminate 50mm - 60mm behind the headlamp apertures and the two sides must be symmetrical.
The 1.25mm - 1.75mm wide coachline (inset B), terminates with vertical face and ends 10mm - 20mm forward of tail lamp
aperture.
Inset C shows the upper edge of the coac hline positioned 6mm - 8mm below feature line along the body side. Inset D shows
gap dimensions and lower coachline width.
Details of front end lower coachlines, including position of the lower coachline relative to door mouldings and front wings are
shown in Inset E.
Inset F shows lower coachline rear end detail.
Other Models

Inset A, shows the angled cut-away at 25° - 35° at front edge. The front end of coachlines terminate 50mm - 60mm behind
the headlamp apertures.The two sides must be symmetrical.
The 3mm - 3.5mm wide coachline shown in Inset B, terminates with vertical face and ends 10mm - 20mm forward of tail
lamp aperture.
Inset C shows the upper edge of th e coachline positioned 6mm - 8mm be low the body side feature line.
Paint
Two-pack solid color paint can be applied. Following application of paint by hand brus h or suitable air brush, allow the paint
to dry fully before peeling away the remain ing strips of Striping Tape. The paint takes in excess of 12 hours to air dry and
fully harden, curing can however be accelerated by careful application of heat from infra-red lamps..
• NOTE: Masking tape must only be removed when the paint has hardened.
For the repair of minor damage (cuts, et c.), Paint Touch-up Pens in the colours required, are available via Jaguar Parts
Operations.

• NOTE: The above table refers to water borne paint introduced on 1998MY vehicles. This paint is identified by a four figure
number commencing with a 1. Solvent-based paint is identified by the same succeeding three figures, but this is followed by three different letters. E.G. JBC1712 JHG Westminster Blue is a water-borne paint. JBC712 JFG Westminster Blue is a
solvent-borne paint.

GLAZING
In order that the design condition of the vehicle is preserved when direct glazing repairs are carried out, it is essential that
only approved materials an d processes are employed.
Glass and Body Preparation
Betaseal HV3 System methods an d materials, are used on all Jaguar vehicles . Ease of working and extended process time
can however be gained by ensuring that the vehicle body and replacement glass are at a minimum room temperature of 20°
C prior to adhesive a pplication and fitting.
In the event of damage to the body flange finish, rectify as appropriate with the full paint refinishing process as described in
the Paint Refinishing Manual.
Adhesive Application Temperature
The specified adhesive has a high viscosity and is not easily applied at 'room te mperature' using conventional methods.
When the adhesive is applied it chills ra pidly on contact with the body and reverts to the hard condition, providing retention
strength with in minutes.
Raising the temperature of the adhesive will reduce viscosity an d speed up the flow. It is recommended that the adhesive is
pre-warmed in a heated cabinet for a mini mum of twenty minutes and applied with an extrusion gun incorporating integral
heating elements.
Adhesive Application
CAUTION: The glass will not bond to the body if the time taken to apply the adhesive and position the glass, exceeds
the stated limit.
It is recommended that the be ad of adhesive conforms to the shape and dimensions shown in the Adhesive Application
