first, Im not jaguar, when you refer to "you" second, as I stated, the original k117 is still the repair that has worked. And yes it is the third. The revision to the k117 is a small plastic clip to go around the forward sunblind motor to keep the gearset tighter to the track and not strip leaving the blind inop. The k117 in a nextop service action to be done next time the customer comes in wether its a complaint or not. Cant get much closer than a recall than that. And you cant have everyone come in at once. Nor is a pop a safty issue either to warrant a recall. And the k117 is still the good repair be it #1 or #6

Any way after the last fix which they said was the kit that will work, I get a creak that just started last week every time I pull in the driveway .
I can feel the glass in the front sunroof shift with my hand on it as it creaks.
Sorry I took it out on you. Any sugestions?
Thanks

Anyway yes it is still THE fix that has worked the best so far and I havent had any return complaints. This can be
1, its fixed, or
2, its way better and maybe an occassional noise that is so improved and infrequent that the customer is happy.
The glass with this fix WILL move, the problem before was a too firm attachment. The whole assembly is now recieve tefflon washer under track mounts and under bolts. the bolts have blue locktight and the serations are no longer there under the new bolts but are smooth. This allows the assemly to slightly move and not creak or pop when the body flexes. The first 2 repairs involved increasing tension to the assembly which DID NOT fix and even made pops worse with time. K117 was a polar opposite repair and has seemed to be the fix that works. The botls have a VERY specific torque(4-6nm) and any deviations like too tight and it defeats the whole purpose of the repair. Which is to allow slippage between the roof and glass panel mechanism. Hope Im alittle clearer with this explanation than the first

aceeg, that is nothing more than a squeek and rattle kit that we use to apply in all kinds of affected areas of jags regardless of model. mostly trim, dash, door panel etc... Jaguar also uses this in production/assembly of the cars. This is why I laugh at a few posts here regarding use of tapes, lubes etc in the roof and other repairs of this type. like " I dont accept the use of foam/tape, etc on the repair for noises on my $80-120k car!" Really? how do you think factories of ALL cars make them quieter?
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
S-TYPE (X200) VIN: L00600 – N91220
Model Year: 2000 – 2008
X-TYPE (X400) VIN: C00344 – E99999; J00001 – J38794
Model Year: 2002 - 2008
XF (X250) VIN: R00001 - Onwards
Model Year: 2009 – Onwards
XJ (X350) VIN: G00442 – H30057
Model Year: 2004 – 2009
XJ (X351) VIN: V00001 – Onwards
Model Year: 2010 – Onwards
XK (X100) VIN: 001246 – 042775; A00016 – A48684
Model Year: 1997 – 2006
XK (X150) VIN: B00379 – Onwards
Model Year: 2007 - Onwards
CONDITION SUMMARY:
Situation: During a vehicle's lifetime, some vehicle components may have been removed for various reasons,
and thus may have disturbed various other components fitted to the interior / exterior of the vehicle.
Differences also occur within the interior or exterior temperature of the vehicle. All of these symptoms may
lead to various squeaks and rattles issues.
See the list below for the description of the different types of plastics the Squeaks & Rattles Kit is designed for.
• ABS: Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene
• ABS-PC: Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene – PolyCarbonate
• TPO: Thermoplastic PolyOlefin
NOTE: See below for a list of the products in the Squeaks & Rattles Kit.
A squeaks and rattles kit has been developed with Newgate Simms. This kit will be automatically shipped to
each retailer, enabling retailers to use the same professional fluids and tapes that are currently used in vehicle
manufacturing to solve any squeaks and rattles issues.
Refer to Service Bulletin 1-248NAS for details of how to order additional kits or replenish the items in the kit
when necessary.
THE K117 is still the fix done properly

I took my car in this morning and the service tech told me there was a new kit that has come out in the last couple of weeks for the roof......... I had the last one done last Nov. which was suppose to be the fix all and she said this was different. I didn't question her because they didn't have my loaner that they were suppose to have and they would have to order the kit so I told her to call me when the kit gets in and I'll bring it back.

When I read all of these posts, I myself come to the conclusion that this 'panoramic' glass roof is a poor piece of design. My X350, (previous XJ model and certainly NOT fault-free), suffers no pops and squeaks from the roof at any time. It is a solid piece of aluminium sheet, welded to the rest of the car via the front and rear pillars. My car has no sun-roof, but owners of those X350s that have them never seem to report any popping.
Maybe time for Jaguar to do a redesign of the bodyshell for a second iteration of what is a really fine car in all other aspects.
