This is another issue I was having from this past weekend..as I lowered the convertible top, I heard a crunching noise coming from the driver side quarter window..and now the quarter window will not come up. The other side will come up, just not the drivers side...I can hear movement from the quarter window and assume that the window regulator is broken..I managed to remove the panel, and wonder how in the heck do you remove the regulator to replace or repair. Please review the attached photo..
any help would greatly be appreciated,

Thanks
Al

 

Not the easiest of jobs, but it is doable. See the instructions in the repair manual here: http://jagrepair.com/images/AutoRepa...150Service.pdf

 

Like you said doable ..but man it looks like a pain..I will be taking photos for references for myself and others that need to replace theirs.. Thank you very much for sending me this link...it will definitely help

I've never been inside a Jaguar door, but wear some decent gloves to prevent slicing up your hands on sharp sheet metal.

 

Okay, I am still figuring out why I haven't sold this xk with all of the minor problems it has...anyway, I have made progress with my quarter window which would not go up or down..and I have to really thank WhiteXKR with the download of the repair manual, of which really really helped..personally it showed me the direction I needed to go, but there was some little things I had to figure out on the removal..as you can see by the pictures that you have to remove a lot of components to get to the window and motor assembly, also it was clear that the motor and cable became tangled which caused the problem. after viewing the whole assembly it would seem the guide wheels that move the window up and down were very dry and needed lubrication and acually was hard to move freely. I have the complete removal documented with pictures so I can have an idea on how to reassemble. I did find a complete window assembly including the motor for $129 on ebay..I will post a progress report on reassembly

 

Good on you for taking the task on. I doubt many many would have attempted it. With a bit of research and at times help from forum members, there are a lot of things that can be handled by oneself.

 

Props to you for tackling this job. I am curious as to why it failed to begin with? Was there a maintenance item that needed to be carried out and was not performed? Or did it just break out of age and fatigue?

 

No maintenance issues, in my opinion, as you can see the cable got tangled , and I think the guide rails were very dry as if it was hard to slide going up and down and maybe contributed to the cable becoming off track then binding up into the motor

 

Well, it was not a difficult job, but a damn tedious one..lets hope you do not have to replace your rear quarter window motor, but if you do, take a lot of pictures and take your time..I had to make some minor adjustments installing the motor for example, ensuring that the window was fully extended, which helped in angling the motor to slide into the window crevasse and I also lubed the guide rails as well. if anyone ever needs guidance, I have the pictures to show you how...attached is the picture of the ebay replacement which came off a 2009 and the installed window..I would like to thank all who helped, and with all of the rain here in Texas, I had to get this done ASAP..

I did forget to mention that now that everything is assembled, I now have an airbag warning light.. the light does not flash, just turns on..could this be from removing the rear seat-belt assembly?? should I reset the electrical by removing the battery??
any advise on this issue would be appreciated.

 

I did the same in terms of removing a broken regulator. Very challenging getting the old one out because it was jammed halfway down. I had to disassemble the regulator inside the car cavity!

I sent it off to get it repaired and in the meantime reassembled the car so that I can drive it for the 10 days or so.

BUT I too have now got an airbag light! It flashes one time only - a single flash and then remains illuminated.

Only thing that I can think of is that of the passenger seatbelt electrical and that I actually ran the battery down during my work and had to recharge the battery (using a trickle charger for a day)

Nothing shows up on the ODB2 (not unexpectedly so) Did you solve your airbag light issue? Can anybody help with this?

As listed below from my other thread..

https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...issues-162471/


I was able to get my airbag light as well as my seat reclining issues resolved by having to go the dealer and them clearing my codes..the mechanic did mention that there were many errors relating to battery power...took one hour of service time and it was fixed...

Both of my rear quarter panel window regulators have broken on a 2009 xk. Passenger side end of 2014 (thank you valet) Drivers side yesterday 11/16. They get dry I guess. Both times mine broke the trunk divider was not in the correct position for the top to go down. So process started then stopped. I guess if dry and that happens cable snaps? Ugh. $1,300 dealer says. Part is $550 Labor $720. I cannot do it myself!

 

If you live in FL you have Window Motor World close by - they are FANTASTIC!

There is jaguar disassembly procedure that lists the actual step by step process and was a big help for me.......I have done this 3 times so far, and the motor that I rebuilt myself is holding fine...I will see if I can find the installation instructions and photos and post them..

I could use instructions on removing the window and regulator on my 2006 XK8.
I removed the seats, speaker, but am unsure how to get the window our and motor out ... do they go up and out? or out through the side.
I am thinking up and out ... the reason to open the convertible top part way.
thanks
Bill

 

Look for my post in the thread…

Rear Window regulator 2008 XKR X150 convt.

 

Methinks you are in the wrong forum. This is for the X150 otherwise known as the XK line model years in the USA 2007-2015. You say you have a a 2006. In the USA that is an X100. If that is the case try that forum for better answers. Maybe a moderator will move you over there. Good luck.
