Default Disassembling the door panel

Hi everyone. Here's one for you. I have a screw or a ball bearing rolling around the inside of my door. Every time I tap the brake or accelerate, I hear the annoying sound of metal rolling. Drives me nuts! I've mentioned it to the Jag dealer on several occasions who says they cant find the screw (I even drove the technician around who heard the sound) . I can tell exactly where it is. I just need to get inside the door. Is there a proper documented procedure for opening up the door? Do I need to worry about the airbags?
Thanks for any help!

Find a different dealer or keep taking it back until they fix it.

OK so quick update. I have the entire door disassembled (it was actually quite easy to do, and I didn't have any extra screws when i put it back together!) and I am 100% confident that the rolling noise is not in the door, but in the sill below the door. Very frustrating. To make matters worse, I can get into the space below the door (under the 'Jaguar' sill) but that space is divided into an internal section and an outside section. I can only get into the internal, and I am positive the screw isn't in there either. My next move is to attach powerful magnets to the bottom of the car to hold the screw or ball bearing in place. This is ridiculous.

Did you purchase the car from the same dealer that is giving you the run around? Take it back to the dealer and speak directly to the service manager about this. If that doesn't work, go directly to the general manager. If you still don't get it fixed, call the Jaguar Corporate Office.


The squeaky wheel get the grease.
