Why doesn't the top of the Jaguar XK open?

Years 1996-2006

Answer

Let's see in this guide the cause of the Jaguar XK soft top problem; in particular we note that the hood opens and closes by pressing the appropriate buttons. The problem is often given by the motor that drives the soft top, which fails over time; however, we check that the hood guides are clean and in good condition. If we hear the sound of the motor on the top, it means that it works (by pressing the opening button); otherwise it must be replaced with the new one.
