How do i remove the drivers side door panel on a jag s type

Well i have been thru this problem myself and the only way your ever get it open and to fix the real issue is to remove back seat top and bottom this will give the door panel clearance enough to remove door panel so you can get in side door to open it make surs you fix the pro lem before shutting door again

pull up the front of cushion on either side in turn, put your fingers under the front edge about 10 inches from outer edge you will feel a little plastic lever, you slide to one side, repeat for other side you can then remove seat cushion.

Inside the trunk compartment you will have to remove the molded apholstery on the pasenger side starting with the center peice where the latch is. Once you remove the center peice, remove the trunk seal ( of wich you can reinstall very easily) and pull the carpeted aphostery to the side to get a view of the inner quarter panel. You will see a yellow handle marked for the gas door. Just pull on that and that will release the catch for the gas door.

check lock buttons on doors and keyfob for stuck button

You should obtain a tool made specifically for removing door panels. They are attached by "snap" connectors, and by pulling on the door panel itself will invariably ruin it. Get the tool from a parts place and carefully peer into the slot between the door metal and the door panel. Use the tool slowly with resolution. You should really acquire a manual that guides you for your particular Jag.
Remember, to take the panel completely off, you need to remove the door handle. Look for a plug that has a screw under it. You'll need to pop the door window/lock control panel too, to access screws under there. This can be tricky, so be careful.

sounds like the window has come off the metal scissor runner, there is a metal fixture attatched to the bottom of the window, which has a channel groove,,,, the scissor runner has a nylon wheel at either end,which sits into the window frame groove..if these wheels come out, they cause a crunching noise..so, you need to remove door panel, and put window frame and runners together

You'll need to remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. If needed, you can pull back the weather seal (can't reuse it, but it's not that important) and you will be able to access everything inside the door

I've had this problem and I believe its a common problem with S types. There is a white plastic slider that wraps around a metal strut and moves up and down as the window opens and closes. The problem is that the plastic slider breaks if the car door is slammed when the window is half way down, When this occurs the slider breaks free and the wire that pulls it up and down wraps itself around the motor and jamms everything up. The fix is to replace the window regulator as a complete unit. This fairly straight forward and worth the effort as you most likely will be replacing the other regulators if you keep the car for a while. Buy the regulator either from Jag dealer or OEM part which is approx 1/2 the cost (I found mine on ebay!). Make sure your get the correct unit, left, right, front and rear are different. Take off the door panel, its all clips except you need to unscrew the two scews under the rubber insert in the door pocket first. After you have removed the panel remove the black plastic cover as well. You need to detach the glass window from the regulator, This is done by punching out the brass insert in the middle of the plastic plug that is pushed through a hole in the glass. Be careful, if you hit it too hard you can break the glass, I ended up drilling it out as this was easier. Once you have the plastic plug out the glass is detached and you can remove the regulator. This is just a few screws, the only tricky part is to get the angle right to pull it out the door frame. Installation of the regulator is just the reverse. Good luck.
