I discovered a useful tip that might not have been mentioned yet on the numerous window adjusting posts and videos I have seen. I cannot take credit for this since I came across it in a thread on the Roadfly forum.

Anyway, the most common window problem with the convertibles seems to be the gap between the main window and the rear quarter-windows. I have had this on the passenger side of my car and have put up with the minor wind noise since I did not want to hassle with the door panel removal. Then I discovered the Roadfly post about merely removing the plastic lens over the puddle lamp at the bottom of the door. When doing this it exposes an access hole exactly placed over the bolt used to laterally adjust the main glass inwards and outwards.

This makes the adjustment a 2 minute job rather than 1/2 hour or more. I suspect that this is an adjustment that needs to be done on an occasional basis and it makes sense for Jaguar to have provided the easy access hole rather than require removing the door panel.

Hey Doug, thats great, thanks so much for taking the time to share this.

This needs to be made "How to" and added to the database

Cheers

 

Added to the How to list, thanks Doug!

 

You're welcome but as I noted credit needs to be given to the guy who originally posted this on Roadfly. What amazes me is that nobody else (including the JTIS) pointed out this short-cut for accessing the most common adjustment for the window.

It is amazing the talent that exists on this forum. Much appreciated and needed! Works great!

Many thanks from this Dr.George

 

I think you're overestimating the foresight of the Jag engineers. my guess is that this is an instance of dumb luck.

 

Or some Jaguar service guy realized that the key adjustment screw was readily accessible without needing to disassemble the door and he convinced Jaguar to provide the access hole--who knows?
