Just wanted to say 'hi'. It is wonderful to have a Jaguar again. I had a 1997 XJR and now a 2000 XKR. I have a watch and car disease. Can't have enough of either one of them. I read a LOT of posts here and bought the Essential Buyer's Guide for XK8 and XKRs by Nigel Thorley. The XKR passed all of the tests and here's to hoping the tests are passed on a regular basis . Don't want the car flunking any of those 'tests' now that I am the proud 'Papa'. I am pretty new to the dos and don'ts of the forum world. Hopefully I do not break very many rules. My biggest thing now is replacing the seal on the passenger side where the front window hits the convertible top. I read the post about using super glue and that ain't working for me, I did try it. What I would like to find (and I have searched EVERYWHERE) is somewhere to buy parts at a decent price, IE: not the dealer.

Also, should you have questions related to your vehicle please post it in the section for your model year (MY) car. This way you will reach all the members that are familiar with your MY car.

You need to reset your To do this you push the window down button and hold until you hear or feel a click. Then push the window button for the window to close and hear or feel the click. This should be done when you are in the car and the door is closed. The window should operate properly by opening a slight bit when the door is opened and close when the door is closed.
This problem is often caused by a weak battery voltage. 10.5 or below they loose memory settings.

 

Gus,

I have read a lot of posts by you and are impressed with your knowledge and technique of sharing it with others. It will be good when I do get all of the benefits of the forum.

The problem I am having is not the window, it is replacing the rubber molding on the convertible top where the passenger window meets it. Almost $300 from the dealer just seems a bit steep.

I will hunt around and try to figure out where to post my search so it is in the right place.

With much respect,
dje
