Hi to all, have just joined the site. I'm a very proud owner of a 2007 XK 4.2. If anyone could help with a few niggles it would be very much appreciated.
#1 .. The plastic ring/locator will not sit down into the seat. Struggling to release it from it's current position. I take it that the tab in the middle of it has to be out?
#2 .. The driver's door pocket has been stained and would be interested to know if anyone has replaced just this section or the whole pocket with new carpet.
#3 .. The rear window has debris wedged down in between the glass and inside seal. Can anyone recommend a cleaning method, I fear that the debris will fall down further and get trapped unless there is a way of easily removing the rubber seal?
For number 3, the rear quarter windows are easy enough to remove. There is a bolt hidden behind the rubber seal at the leading edge. Have a look at this thread for a link to a video (credit to Reverend Sam)
You will probably have to remove the Head Restraint first to be able to reposition the plastic locking cover into the seat back.
2. Door Card
I had one with a crack in the plastic on the top of the pocket. Unfortunately the card is only supplied complete and no separate parts are listed. Upholstery cleaner and an old toothbrush or a nail brush should at least improve those marks and hopefully remove them completely.
3. Rear Quarter Window
As recommended by sicarumba.

Thank you very much for your help, I will have a go
