Jaguar XK8 Window Anti rattle strips V70 / XKR (X100)

[@andrewmcgrath2769]

Absolutely excellent. Replaced mine today using some eBay mini door trim strip wrapped in cloth tape. Horrid rattling noise gone.

Andrew, Good idea glad it work for you, roll on summer days with the windows down 😊. Thanks for comment regards Damian

[@derekpalmer7598]

great vid as you have now informed me what that strip was ,after i fitted a bare shell door and this was left over . Only other thing you forgot was ,disconnect the battery as i found the electric window could come down automatically when fiddling around inside the door .

[@ODRModurol]

Derek, Good idea to disconnect the battery but I didn't as was constantly moving the glass up and down. But agree would be safer. Thanks for good input regards Damian

I would find it simpler to just unplug and replug the door connector at the hinge line.

[@ODRModurol]

Gary, another good idea. Regards Damian

[@garyvanremortel5218]

@@ODRModurol Just to be clear, anytime you disturb any original connection, there is a potential for opens upon reconnecting due to oxides on faying surfaces. I always recommend DeoxIT Gold G5 spray prior to reconnecting.

Gary, interesting stuff, never know a problem reconnecting that’s not to say there wasn’t any. Good information, thanks for the comment regards Damian

after replacing the wiring harness inside the door i found at the bottom of the door these strips and cannot find where they fitted now i do and will be changing them for the newer version

[@ODRModurol]

Derek, glad you found where they went. Good luck with your repairs. Once fitted, you should find the door closes with less window rattle, regards Damian

Out of curiosity I had a quick look on eBay in the UK and similar type seals are available. So that would save shipping from the US. Thanks for giving me another job to do!

[@ODRModurol]

Graham, never going to be short of jobs if you own an XK8😊. If you have found something suitable if you could leave the link in a comment that would be great. Thanks for the input and comment regards Damian
