What is the problem with the Jaguar XK soft top?
Years 1996-2006

Answer

Let's find out in this guide one of the most common problems on the Jaguar XK Convertible; in particular, the hood is very slow in its opening and closing and at times it seems to be totally blocked. A common problem on this car concerns the motor of the soft top which fails over time; It is therefore necessary to find the new soft top motor to solve the problem (we try to install the original component to ascertain its compatibility and operation).
