Hi
I need some help.
The GPS signal is lost and I have a replacement antenna to fit BUT I can't seem to drop the head liner without damaging it.
I have removed the two visible torx screws holding the rear post plastic trim on but can't seem to free the lower ends. Any ideas what to remove next? I don't want to brute force it.
Has any body got the workshop manual for a 2013 Sportbrake? The saloon version doesn't cover this.
Thanks
Chris
You can get to it without dropping the entire headliner, but yes you will need to at least drop the rear seat grab handles, and the D-Pillar trims
If I remember, there is a big yellow clip that holds up the rear section of the headliner - I call it the Big Bird clip - it will most likely break, practically unpreventable. The part number I have is JRC2D22430, it may have been superseded by now

Some variation in the illustrations may occur, but the essential information is always correct.

Many thanks Brake Buster and JBzXJ40.
That was the answer I was afraid of.
Would love to meet the designer of that option.
That's my Easter weekend sorted.
Much appreciate the help.

Hi Chris, I have a 2014 sportbrake and I have to remove the shark fin aswell as my gps doesn't work, it's possible to give me any information about how did you do it if I need to buy the yellow clip etc, any information will be appreciated as your post is the only one I have found about jaguar estate. Thank you in advance

I followed the instructions posted above. All is good and as described but it is a real pain.
I re-used the yellow clip - use a trim removal tool. But to tidy up the rear edges of the liner I resorted to some double sided tape as the door trim stops just short.
Be sure to have the correct antenna unit before you start. I didn't which was frustrating..
Good luck - you'll need it.

Hi Chris Thanks for your reply, where did you buy the antenna from and how i can get the correct one without removing it? Just model and registration number should be enough? Thanks
I had taken it out. I would hope the dealer could tell you. It's model is very dependent on sales location and entertainment options.
They do appear on popular auction sites as the cars are written of!
