Default Rear Door Rattle

Hi all,

I am currently driving a 2017 Jaguar XE 35t in British Racing Green which I absolutely love. However, I've noticed a rattling sound coming from the bottom of the rear doors when driving over the most minor bumps and imperfections in the road. This really takes me away from the experience of enjoying the car.

Rather than take the car to the dealer so they can drive it around looking for the source (which I believe I have found), I would like to remove the rear door panels and add some insulation myself.

However, I can't find any instructions on how to properly remove the panels. Does anyone have TOPix access and if so, can they upload a PDF copy of the instructions in removing and reinstalling the rear door panels?

Smile BTW - Here's a pic of my car and an example of the rattle!

BTW - Here's a pic of my car and an example of the rattle, which occurs on both rear doors and is pretty unacceptable for a Jaguar in my opinion.

lots of things are very acceptable to Jaguar that I would think it shouldn't. I have rattles, misaligned doors, panels inside and outside.....

Sounds like something is not tightly attached/screwed in place.

I am not sure if you'd be able to find instructions for XE door removal since it is still a relatively new and rare car. I guess you have to just do it and learn along the way.

Post some photos if you decide to do it. Good luck

I'd bring it to the dealer first. You bought a new Jaguar; at least give them an opportunity to make it right.

I have a 2017 XE British Racing Green. On my car front passenger door panel rattles and is visibly misaligned. I gave my car to dealer and now they are replacing the door with a new door!
