As I said the other night matey, I'm pretty sure it does. It did on my dads XK8 so I don't see why it wouldn't on yours.

The dealers are tts most of the time. Don't have a clue as there always selling mondeos, I mean x-types.

Definately come off. Not sure how though as my dad smashed his off by accident.

What year XKR ? All of the pre face lift models you can remove the glass, however it is made alot easier by removing the lamp assembly first, and if you have powerwash, just be careful of the washer assembly as they are tricky to remove/ refit. As with wanything Jaguar, a cup of tea, and plenty of patience serves well !!

2003, 4.2 XKR.

I just SO want to clean inside the glass, as it ruins the front of the car.
