I tried all the recommended ways to reprogram the passenger window on 2002 XK8 rag top. Up and down until you hear a click, up, let go of button reapply button for 5 sec then 10 sec, down, same procedure, and no luck. Open the door, and the window goes down about an inch, then goes back up to the top and stays there. If you lift the handle on exterior, the window goes down the inch, but let go of the handle and it goes right back up. They seem to work fine when putting the top down, they go down the inch for the top to activate. Any advice?

Do you have a multimeter to measure the voltage across your battery terminals with the engine off? If it is under about 12.3 to 12.4 volts you may have a bad battery. Window problems are often the first sign. This is worth checking before tearing the car apart looking for other problems.
PS: Next time please post in the 1996-2006 XK8/R section.

Sorry I posted in the wrong place. Will do better next time. I forgot to add that I just installed a new battery. I was hoping that was the problem since I was having other electrical problems as well. Those problems went away, but still have the window problem.

You appear to be trying a complicated procedure for resetting the window travel limits.
Sitting in the vehicle with the doors shut and the top up. First reset the driver's window:
1. fully down and hold the button until your hear a soft click (approx 5 secs)
2. fully up and hold the button until you hear a soft click (approx 5 secs)
3. repeat for the passenger window

If you know the battery voltage is good then it could be the micro switch in the door latch.
When the door is open, does the dash show "passenger door open"? If it doesn't then that is most likely your problem. Might be worth trying a little WD40 as mentioned in the threads below before taking it apart.
There are some threads about replacing it:

And a video on how to get the latch out:
