WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jaguar XE and 2019 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
- The image above is NOT vehicle specific
- DO NOT use a high pressure water hose for water testing.
- Complete the water test with a second person present (in the passenger compartment).
- Use variable washer nozzles (concentrated water jet to fine spray mist).
- Lower the headliner to give clear access to the interior sections of the roof opening panel glass inside the vehicle.
- The outer trims must be raised carefully using a plastic wedge.
- Start in the front section and spray water over the whole area, working backward in stages.
- The leak should be located from inside by a second assistant.
- Where possible, note the specific nature of the water ingress. Photograph the leak point and attach both the photo and a written description of the location and nature of the water ingress/leak point to the Electronic Product Quality Report (EPQR).
- Remove the roof opening panel fixed glass panel(s). Remove the existing adhesive bead and reapply using the correct bonding procedure.
