Product Description
Jaguar XF 2009-2010 Roof Insert Trim, 2-Piece Polished Stainless (RI29098)
Few details, but a clear fit: RI29098 is a two-piece polished stainless roof insert for the Jaguar XF 4-door sedan, model years 2009 and 2010. That's a two-year window, so confirm your model year first.
What the record tells us
Both pieces are 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror and made in the USA. They mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and install over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface.
What it doesn't
No width, no length, and no notes on where each piece goes. The photos are the best reference, and Quality Automotive Trims can give you a measurement at 877-752-3811. No other XF parts are linked to this listing either; that's how the record is set up, so ask if you're looking for more trim for the car.
What a roof insert does
A roof insert trim brings a bright line along the top of the car, giving the roofline definition that's visible from the side. On a dark-colored sedan the contrast is strongest; on silver or white it's subtler.
Confirming the year
The door-jamb label or your registration shows the model year. The record lists only 2009 and 2010, so if yours is outside that window, call before ordering.
Preparing an older roof
Wash and dry the roof thoroughly. Inspect the paint where each piece will go; oxidized or flaking clearcoat should be addressed first, since tape needs a sound surface. Then wipe each footprint with a residue-free cleaner, changing cloths until one comes back clean.
Laying out the pieces
With liners on, hold each piece in place and compare with the photos. Mark the ends with painter's tape. Measure from fixed reference points, such as the windshield edge, so both XF inserts sit at the same position.
Applying
Peel the first few inches of liner, anchor one end, then press along the length as you pull the rest away. Firm pressure along every edge seats the tape. Fit the second insert to match the first, then check from the front and rear. Choose a dry, mild day. The Installation tab has full instructions.
Reaching safely
Use a step stool rather than leaning across the XF roof. You'll have better control and won't put weight on the roof panel or glass.
Questions worth asking first
Because the record is short, a quick call before ordering is worthwhile. Ask for the length of each piece and where it sits, and have your model year handy. That short conversation can save a wrong order and a second round of prep.
After installation
Hold off washing for a few days, then use mild soap and a soft cloth. Polished 304 carries no plating, so a light scuff just shows more of the same steel underneath.
To be clear
The XF roof pieces are a decorative overlay and replace no factory part.

Installation tips: Roof Insert Trim
- Unpack all 2 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
