It looks like you will need to remove the A pillar trim panels and then the defrost vent trim panel.
There are some adhesive insulators (double sided adhesive foam rubber??) that should be cleaned off and replaced or it will rattle. But you may get away without.
The remove and replace instructions are on page 2702 of the Jaguar workshop manual.
If you do not have this essential document for anyone working on their S-Type here is a link: (Big file so perhaps right click and 'save as'.)

As mentioned by Norri the chances are the mounting studs on the plastic vent panel are probably broken and this is why the sensor has dropped. The removal process assumes the plastic vent panel is in as new condition however, with the passage of time the plastic will become brittle and may well snap as you try and take it apart.

Hehe...I was gonna suggest, "Just delay renewing the solar sensor a few months and you'll likely have "cracks" (let's face it, they are breaks - clean through) on either side and you can just lift out the middle piece and renew the sensor."
