Service Actions For Slam Condition 2

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2015 Jaguar XKR-S, 2015 Jaguar XKR, 2015 Jaguar XK, 2014 Jaguar XKR-S, and 2014 Jaguar XKR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If slamming is rectified, the service action is complete. If slamming is still discernible, proceed to next step

Open the convertible top to the position shown
Adjust the tension bow link arm grub screw a half turn clockwise on both sides of the vehicle:
1. Insert a hexagon wrench into the grub screw and turn clockwise only - this will cause the tension bow to lift slightly.
  NOTE: the setting of this screw is critical and turning it anticlockwise may adversely affect the performance of the roof. Do not turn the grub screw anticlockwise
Check for slamming:
1. Fully stow the convertible top so that it is in the storage bay (there is no need to close the tonneau panel)
2. In a single action, deploy the convertible top and check for any slamming when the convertible top reaches the header
3. If in doubt, repeat the stow and deploy cycle. Any discernible slam is unacceptable
4. If slamming is rectified, the service action is complete. If slamming is still discernible, proceed to next step
Adjust the tension bow link arm grub screw a further half turn clockwise on both sides of the vehicle:
1. Insert a hexagon wrench into the grub screw and turn clockwise only - this will cause the tension bow to lift slightly.
  NOTE: the setting of this screw is critical and turning it anticlockwise may adversely affect the performance of the roof. Do not turn the grub screw anticlockwise
2. Recheck for slamming. If slamming is rectified, the service action is complete. If slamming is still discernible, contact the JLR Dealer Technical Support Helpdesk
