Glass Tailgate pops open

Featured Replies

 

I have just bought my first Jaguar  which is a 2006 3.L Sovereign estate and find two things have already cropped up.                                                                                                                       First the glass tailgate seems to pop open when I turn the ignition key to start which then keeps all the interior lights on so if anyone has had any experience of this and better if there is a simple solution.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Second I did not adjust the mirrors when I test drove the car and now find the passenger side does not respond to the switch on the door. The drivers door folds in but the passenger door does not any thoughts please.

I am new to Jaguar so will appreciate any advice any other experienced owners might have as to the answers.


Hi 

I had the same on my X Type estate 

I got the locking mechanisms changed on both tailgate and glass but then I thought I might have been inadvertently pressing the unlock button when turning the key to start.

I know that if you press the LOCK Button once in the car and before you start the car it does prevent it popping open

When l bought my x type estate three weeks ago my glass release switch didn't work at all. I striped the switch got it working but then had your problem so I replaced it with a £1.38 push button marine switch off eBay. With a bit of work with the dremmel got it to fit inside original housing
