Hey all,

Today I was on the highway and some idiot threw down a rock or a brick or something from a pedestrian bridge and shattered my sunroof.

I found a 2001 S Type at a local auto wrecker and wanted to know if the sunroof will fit in a 2005. I am talking about just the glass (not replacing the motor).

Any advice or tips are greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

 

It doesn't look like it, JPEC lists a range of part numbers dependent on VIN.

 

Here is an eBay seller stating this roof glass Panal fits 2000-2006 ,
Could this be correct ?

Jaguar 00 06 s Type Sunroof Glass Panel XR850342 | eBay

 

Thanks @Norri , appreciate the info!

@Datsports: I'm not sure! I have heard conflicting information on fitment from various sellers. Some say one fits all, some say not.

My theory is this: I could possibly remove JUST the glass itself from the 2001 S Type and fit it using proper sealant and such to the 2005 S Type. My understanding is that the glass is the same, but the mounting hardware and tracks are different.

Keeping the hardware in place.

Thoughts? Tips on sealing the new glass in place?

 

Update: The sunroof glass from the 2001 was an exact match to the 2005. Same part number, dimensions, and bolt locations.

I was in luck.

Thank you all
