It allows you to build an account based on your VIN number and then you able to see what stuff applies to you are and more importantly if you PAY you can actually pull stuff down. I paid for like a 15 dollars which gave me a few hours I believe and just started hitting the print button.

Default You are not alone
My Jag also pops under the same circumstances. I believe all of them do but many owners just "put up" with it. Most don't seek out a Jaguar forum to post their complaints or observations. Hopefully they'll find a fix that works long term.

Same senario bro jaguar gave me a brand new car roof pop came back, fixed it kept in shop over a week, after 1000 mi roof pops are worse than ever all over the roof .
When I go up a drive way I put my hand on the glass roof and can feel it move.
Now that can't be safe.

After 6 attempts and a replacement car they are now telling me Jaguar has a new bulletin and a new kit to fix the roof. The kit won't be available until mid October. I am pissed but will keep you posted.

Also the front roof glass needs to adjusted to, so it doesn't rub against the frame of the sunroof. Even though that these roofs will not knock, or pop anymore, you will still have what appears to be a rubbing noise. I haven't figured what this noise is yet. Jaguar wont pay enough diag time for it, so..... Let Jaguar "engineers" figure out.
The bolts you're talking about, can you get to them without taking out the headliner????

That's a good question!

I hadn't noticed this discussion in the past, because our first XJ, a 2012, which VERY sadly, got "totaled", didn't seem to have the "roof pops" issue. But our second one, a 2016, seems to "pop" once in a while, when the outside temps get in the mid-low 40sF. We store it in the winter, to keep it out of the road salt, so I don't know what it would do in really cold weather, but this past fall, while there was no snow to be had, the temps did drop, and when we went over a couple of dips in the road, I did hear the dreaded "pop".....

Given that you can't spell "spelling Bee" I don't reckon much to your chances.
