Default 1998 xj8 sunroof problem

The sunroof will not lock down at the rear.
When I purchased it the rear piece of upholstery was in the trunk. Installed and top not latching down. It pops up when closing doors.
Is there away to make this lock down? the plastic rails seem all messed up.

If I could just decommission it it would be fine with me as I had a 1996 xj6 that sunroof would not operate properly but did latch down.

keeping it closed will work for me at this time.

Thanks

Hi
I found this posting by forum member motorcarman that has TSBs on the sunroof (sliding roof) with repair instructions and illustrations:

TSB 13-39-sliding-roof & TSB 501-26-sliding-roof have repair info that can be done without PDU (Jaguar Scan Tool)
