    My 2003 XK 8 windows will drop when opening the door, but go up immediately when released. They should stay in the drop positon until the door is closed. I tried to program the window as stated in the manual. The manual said to lower the window and hold for 5 seconds and do the same when raising the window. It still is doing the same thing. HELP

It just needs resetting.Hold each window switch down until you hear a click at the top and then go down all the way and hold until it clicks at the bottom of its travel.A low battery will cause this sometimes or a  battery change.Tony/Hills Motors, San Mateo, CA

With the ignition on but not running, run the window down all the way. Keep holding the button for about 7 seconds, then run the window up all the way and do the same. Then turn off the ignition. This re-programs the proper up and down limits. It is suggested that loss of window programming is a precursor of a low battery causing the computer to lose its memory.

2001 xk8 when opening door wwindow drops aprox 1" when I shut the door now it does not go back up any simple fix thanks

with the engine running, run the window all the way down and hold it untill you hear a click, then run it all the way up and hold it untill it clicks again. That should reset the memory and it should work correctly.

2002 Jahuar xk8 -convertible- Driver's window does not retract back to close position after door closes

If you disconnect the battery you must reprogram both windows by holding the button down until you hear it chime takes about 5 or so seconds. Repeat for the other window and this should solve the problem. This information should be in your owners manual, it is in mine
