The overwrite is done in

classes/XLite/Module/XC/ProductVariants/Model/Product.php

    /**
     * Get image
     *
     * @return \XLite\Model\Image\Product\Image
     */
    public function getImage()
    {
        return $this->isUseVariantImage()
            ? $this->getDefaultVariant()->getImage()
            : $this->getProductImage();
     }

You can either change it to

    /**
     * Get image
     *
     * @return \XLite\Model\Image\Product\Image
     */
    public function getImage()
    {
        return $this->getProductImage();
    }

or set



protected function isUseVariantImage()


to always return false


Note that this is probably used on products list pages and product details page so if you want one to show product image and the other variant image you will need to write some logic to distinguish between the two
