Many thank! Excellent video. No obnoxious music. Some nice bird chirpings in the background. Great tip on the latch link. Would have never know it changes the length. I'm going to be changing my rear door speakers in my 1999 XJ8L and plan to change the door handle seal while I'm at it. Your videos sure make working on your Jaguar a rewarding experience. Thanks again.

Jim, thank for your kinds words. We are lucky enough to live in rural mid-wales so the there is plenty of bird life. Glad the video was useful in helping you enjoy working on your car. This detailed feedback really helps me understand what’s useful for fellow enthusiasts. Good luck with fitting the door speakers, regards Damian

Hi Damian. I found your channel by watching To the Garage with John. Great tips all round. When my driver side door handle broke in the freezing temperatures we had of late. I came across your tutorial and decided to take it off without removing the window. What with the barrel lock and the strip of metal up behind the glass and my big hands. How bloody annoyingly hard it was to do, I ended up drilling a hole through the internal skin of the door to get socket to line up the bolt. It wasnt easy. But i did it. So id like to thank you for your tips And look forward to watching yours and Johns Tutorials Cheers Andy

Andy, thank you very much for taking the time to say so. Very glad it was useful. It’s very tight inside the door. I’ve taken the guide rail off and removed the latch, just for the video content. Making up the video now. kzitem.info/news/bejne/sI2otKdokqWEkqg It’s very very easy and makes access much better. I was very worried I was going to mess up the window alignment. But it was no problem and would recommend that in the future. Thanks again regards Damian

Hi Damian...this problem is known . I solved it very easily, I didn`t remove the doorhandle.I taped the defective area above and below with adhesive papertape and then I pressed a black flexible sealant into the gap. With the help of a razor blade ! Now its look good, it holds good and is already two years old. Polish and wash the car, sunshin included. A little bit precise job, but its sufficient and the repair is undetectable ! Regards to you...and all.

Good timing on this Damian, I'm looking at painting mine when the weather breaks in a couple months, was wondering how I was going to approach this. For the ridiculous prices they get I almost thought of getting some kind of sheet plastic, foam or whatever, breaking out the hobby knife and making my own. Trying to think what the best thing to use. Rubber would be easy enough - even an old inner tube - but it degrades in the sun. Anyone have their thinking cap on? :-)

Andork, Good timing 👍 I think for the price of the foam ones its not worth messing about trying to make any especially if you need to purchase any materials. However, would be interested to see if you come up with a suitable solution. I have heard people cutting and sticking rubber O rings around the outside. Thanks for the interesting input and comment, regards Damian

@@ODRModurol Ha, I'd be interested to see what I come up with too! I can see good reason to use the ones you did and I might very well go that way. On the other hand, to preserve the original look it almost seems like there should be some kind of black ring around it ... oh I'm SOOO confused, lol!

Andork, we've had an alternative suggestion you might like from Udo Bess. He "taped the defective area above and below with adhesive papertape and then I pressed a black flexible sealant into the gap. With the help of a razor blade". He did this 2 years ago and still OK. What do you think ? Thanks Damian

@@ODRModurol Not quite sure I understand, never heard of papertape. Almost sounds like one thought I had about using roofing felt coated with black RTV, though I'm not sure RTV would stick to it. On another note, after the handle is installed you could take black RTV and go around the seam with that, squeegee off the excess and maybe leave a nice, even, level black ring. Sure would make removing it ever again a real bitch though, lol. I'm still brainstorming!

What a p.i.t.a. getting those dinky screws out with my hands! I did the drivers' side, had to deal with that other rod attached for the window control from the key lock. Finally got it out - somehow! - walked to the bench to set it down, turned around and my top is going down!!! Might have to drill an access hole inside the door to get that screw back in with an extension! Yeah, definitely undo the battery with those. I could see the window down being actuated while you're in there and getting your arm caught in there ... then what do you do?!
