XKR 2009 passenger seat recline
#2
That's normal. Follow these steps:
1. From the outside of your car, move the seat bottom all the way down and forward. That will allow you to set the seatback to the maximum recline angle.
2. With the seat fully forward, move the seatback all the way down until it stops.
3. Move the seat backwards while watching the seatback angle. As you approach the limit of rearward travel, you will see the seatback move forwards, reducing the recline and becoming more upright.
Now that you know how it works, get in the car and find a comfortable seat position together with adjusting the steering wheel reach and angle and outside mirrors. Set the seat memory to remember those settings. Read your Owner's Handbook.
Hope this helps.

You will need to continue to experiment with various adjustments. You may find that you will not find your optimum position and will need to either make due with what you have or end up selling it and moving on. Unfortunately the structure design has made limitations to seat position . Good luck

Doe the seat back hit the inside of the car or is it binding mechanically?
If it's hitting the inside of the car there is nothing to be done except move the seat forward and then recline it further. It's a poor design mechanic due to the convertible roof structure that even the coupe owners got stuck with. Eventually I want to cut mine apart and redo the interior panels so the seat will recline like normal.

Sorry for bringing this topic from the ashes. But before posting new theme regarding this issuse, this is EXACTLY mine problem too (I have coupe). Did you manage to solve it? Is there any way to reset passenger seat motors, tilt position?

Or, find someone who has Jaguar SDD software and have them do a seat module reset.

Ok, I'll try to find someone. But before I do, is there anything that I could do to reset the module, like some button combination or unplugging the battery?

Hazmat 1075,
You're in the X150 Forum, for 2007 - 2015 aluminum-body XK/XKR models. Your 2005 XK8 is the previous X100 steel-body model. I doubt that the seat brackets are the same. You should ask in the X100 Forum.
Regardless, try searching Ebay for what you need. You can also try Forum sponsors who sell parts, such as .SNG Barratt.
Good luck!
Stuart

I was going to move your question to X100 forum but thought you may never find it again!
Broken the lid of the Seat Module is a regular issue on the X100. It's available separately from Jaguar:
Please make your subsequent posts in X100 forum:
