What length are the wheel guiding pins you bought from Alibaba?

Regarding sticky buttons....viewtopic.php?t=6103

You haven’t identified my potential leak points 1 and 2 correctly. If you look at your 1st pic there’s a sticky tab which has detached at the underside top corner of the tailgate (near the roof) and there is one each side. The purpose of the tabs is to keep the plastic side channel and rubber seal u...

Is that price from a Jaguar main dealer or stealer? If so, I'm not sure why it's almost double of what it is here in the UK? Try doing a Google search on part number T2R9918 and see what's available? The ebay link I posted earlier shows the guiding pin at just under £20 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2...

Hi and welcome. Water could be entering the tailgate from a few different areas including: 1. The rubber seal at the underside top corners of the tailgate (near the roof). 2.

If I buy them I’ll be getting the OEM ones from my Jaguar main dealer as there’s hardly any difference in price between them and ebay etc. Can’t you do the same in Germany?

I would use two of them for the reason I mentioned earlier i.e. to prevent any damage that could be done to the elongated stud. Even if one was used, the wheel wouldn’t do a pendulum movement as I’d be holding it at the same time, as I do when I remove/refit a wheel without using guiding pins. I'd t...

One of the most difficult items I've ever tried to source. I don't have carbon brakes, but having struggled to fit the 20 inch wheels over wheel studs while trying to avoid striking the caliper, I set out to locate a suitable set of mounting pins. The item you require is a M12x1.5 (female) wheel st...
