trying to locate the adjusting screw on window regulator for 2006 Stype passenger front door. VIN N58006. youtube video for XK8 show a totally different door panel than mine.

 

Welcome to the forum epinc,

YES - the XK8/XKR regulator is a completely different design. Here's the diagram for the S-Type regulator from the Parts Catalogue which may help identify the screw you need:

Thank you, GGG, for the diagram of the parts. That is what my 2006 SType regulator does in fact look like. However, I can't find any place for an adjustment to the travel of the window glass, nor an accompanying access hole. I thought there would be some type of tensioner wheel for the wire that runs in the metal channels, but I don't see any. It appears the window glass is seated as far down in the glass holders as is possible. Any further thoughts?
And I will be visiting the registration site for new users as you recommended.

I don't think there is any adjustment, what problem do you have?

 

The regulator Removal/Installation procedure in JTIS (Jaguar Technical Information System) makes no mention of any adjustment:

There is no adjustment to the mechanism. If the window is not fully closing, or fully opening, the regulator most likely needs to be replaced.

 

Timely to remind all "new" members that the value of intro includes learning of our thingy called Sticky 'How To' . . . huge range of all manuals, wiring diagrams, TSBs and all those great guides written up by skilled members.

Just my 2c so don't shoot me, but so frustrating to see newcomers trying to maintain an exotic machine with no access to manuals, not even basic diagnostic tools, and no clue they are all here either free or just a few dollars away.

Cheers,

Ken
