This distinguishes our Star Cover Jaguar XK8 XKR convertible roof covers

With this custom-made handy roof cover you optimally protect your convertible roof against all kinds of external influences such as;

Cats
Bird droppings
Vandalism
Fireworks
Tree resin
Rain, sun, snow and frost

How to use the roof cover

You place the protective cover over the roof with the recess over the mirrors, then fix the cover around the mirrors with Velcro. You now only have to clip the cover under the windshield wipers and tailgate. Furthermore, the cover stays in place due to the use of magnets that are placed in the seam of the cover.

The car remains accessible thanks to the conveniently placed zipper at the door. This way the cover does not have to be removed if you want to access the car.

By using Nylon Oxford 210D, this half cover is extremely strong and offers the desired protection. This material also protects against harmful UV radiation, so that the interior of the car is not affected by sunlight.

Theft prevention

The attachment of the protective cover has been developed in such a way that you can only remove the cover if you have the car key. Doors and tailgate must be opened to remove the cover. So you don't have to worry about the cover being stolen.

Our lightweight Star Cover outer covers protect your Jaguar XK8 XKR with a unique material composition and manufacturing method.
Star Cover covers are made of woven Polyurethane fibres, this nanotechnology provides elasticity, the breathability, water resistance and a lightweight cover. A combination that is not possible with a pressed material. The double-stitched seams are sealed to be and remain waterproof here, and the inner coating also ensures that the cover is scratch-free when applying and possibly shifting the cover.

Mostly (cheaper) car covers are made of pressed fibers. This ensures a waterproof cover, but the cover only breathes to a limited extent. A pressed cover also needs several heavy layers to become strong. All these layers ensure that the inside of the cover becomes rougher, requiring an extra layer of soft material to prevent skid resistance and scratches.
You can best compare the difference in covers with the difference between chipboard (pressed) and plywood (glued layers of veneer). As everyone knows, plywood is stronger than chipboard, but also more expensive to make.

Pluses and minuses

Always a perfect fit for your Jaguar XK8 XKR
More handy than a fully covering car cover
Wash your car less often = environmentally conscious
Quick and easy to apply by 1 person
Long lifespan
Doors, bumpers etc are not protected
Car cover discolors when used outdoors*.

*The car cover is pigment dyed in black or khaki. This method colors the fibers, but not so deep that it makes the cover unnecessarily thick and heavy. Therefore, the cover will discolour when absorbing UV rays (on sunny or cloudy days), but the Teflon coating keeps the cover waterproof and protects against UV rays.

Super strong outdoor covers

Our Star Cover car covers protect your Jaguar XK8 XKR when you park it on the street or in the driveway. The covers are easy to apply and are (optionally) provided with various handy extras. The covers are standard equipped with clips on both sides of the car, which are attached to each other with the supplied straps. The cover can therefore not be caught by the wind.
