2006 Sportwagon Rear Glass - Help
 

Hello all,
I am desperately trying to find replacement gas struts for the rear hatch lift glass for my X-type. I am needing the gas support lifters or struts that hold up the glass in the rear hatch (the ones with open ended/slotted ends, at least as far as I can see), NOT the actual lift supports for the hatch itself (which has ball or sockets on both ends). I am tired of the lift glass falling after I have leaned in the trunk area and almost killing me. I have tried for hours to find these parts (left & right struts) but no luck. I found a thread with people discussing installing these struts without destroying the headliner, but nothing about the parts themselves. If anyone could help me with part numbers or a link or anything I would be very grateful. Thanks, all.

Might not be much use to you over the pond but could be worth giving them a call.

Found it, search C2S37601 for the glass strut.
Other forum posts suggest that if glass and/or hatch struts are weak (apparently they work in tandem) the hatch part tends to drop sharply at inopportune times. Hatch strut is a different part # from the above. Here's one link to supplier, but there are others by googling part #.

Found them
 

Thank you so much all for the input. I found them and even though almost everybody was out of stock I managed to order two of them from autoreservejaguar.com an online retailer in the UK and even with overseas shipping I paid less then I would have if I bought them in the states. Again thanks.

love that website, they helped me out loads with my x-type, once they sent me a speaker which wasn't properly working so they just instantly responded to my email at 9 pm and sent me another one - no charge

I use Autoreserve all the time for X Type bits.
I did have a problem with an aircon compressor that they sold me but they refunded the money immediately and didn't even want the old one back.
Obviously I still had to pay to have the old one removed, the replacement fitted and another gas recharge but they were straight up front about it.

How to replace
 

Hi I've looked for a video of how to replace the struts on the glass hatch window on the 2004 thru 3008 jaguar X-type estate wagon. I hate to tear apart the headliner. Please anyone who might see this, is there a video for this. HELP.
thank you Jaguar people

I've done this. . I followed the post by csteffan. The most difficult part is unclipping the struts from the roof. Its done by feel, and I'm sure I was trying to unclip the strut "down" before I realized its to the side (outboard I think). Anyway - if you get to this stage - think about the orientation. I might not have it perfectly described, or 100% accurate, but its easier "when you know how", and I think the direction is part of the secret. The first one took way too long, the second was a couple of minutes. The other hard part is getting the plastic trim to clip in properly. I had the headliner replaced shortly after. Not related to the struts - its was already sagging, but I wish I's asked the trim shop take a photo of how the struts are installed! Good luck!
