Yes. In order to accomplish that you will need to acquire a remote top kit from the Jagwrangler: website TheJagWrangler - Home - About Us. Steve the inventor/manufacturer of the remote top kit has put together a very simple well engineered after market kit that is reasonably priced. If you are a decent shade tree mechanic you can install it yourself in about three hours. If, in the other hand you are like me you can have it installed by a guy I use for handy man purposes. He will install it for you in about two hours.

If you decide to purchase the kit. Buy the rear window accessory attachment as well and then you will be able to control the rear windows with the top down. All in all many of us who have installed the kit think it is the single best after market item for XK verts. Steve, the Jagwrangler guy is a pleasure to work with as well.

Another +1

If you want to really cut down on wind turbulence, get a rear wind deflector in addition to White XKR's remote top kit with the optional rear window control. With the top down, all 4 windows up, and the rear wind deflector in place, there is minimal cabin turbulence at 70 mph.

For details, see: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...flector-62273/ and https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...flector-56960/

Agreed. My wife is short, so she feels nothing, while I just feel a light 'tapping' on the top of my head, and it's even less when doing 80+.
