13.2.1 Doors, Description
Doors are of welded, mild steel frames welded to the door panels; sponge rubber primary and secondary seals are
mounted on the doors. Internal insulation is provided by a foam water shedder attached to the door by press fitting and doublesided adhesive tape.
Front and rear door armrests are attached to supports riveted to each door frame; the attaching screws are fitted
with access covers. Upper and lower trim pads and a door pocket are attached to each of the doors by clips and screws. multi-plug connectors are used to provide a means of connecting the guard lamps, window lift switches and loud- speakers, external mirror and regulator (front doors only), which are housed within the doors.
Central locking is provided subject to market variations: Dead Locking for UK
/ Europe and Driver only unlock for N America. Door locks are eight disc, bayonet fixing, barrels with integral lock / unlock switches. Keys include ‘in-key’
transponders which are programmed to the vehicle via the Jaguar Diagnostic System also operate the engine immobi
- lisation system.
CAUTION: When removing the door panel water shedder, a foam membrane attached to each door panel by a com- bination of pressfitting (upper area) and bydouble-sided tape (bottom area), it is important that the shed- der is refitted correctly to maintain the water seal.
It is advisable not to disturb the bottom (taped) portion of the water shedder unless absolutely necessary
- it is possible to unclip the top of the shedder and bend it over to gain access to the inner panel.
If
it is necessary to disturb the bottom attachment, eg to remove the water shedder from the door panel,
the existing water shedder must be discarded and a new one fitted to ensure that the seal is maintained.
On refitting, the new water shedder should be pressed onto the door panel at the top and then the adhes- ive tape backing strip peeled off to enable the shedder to be pressed home at the bottom.

13.4 TRUNK
13.4.1 Trunk, Description
The trunk houses the spare wheel, the battery, an electrical carrier containing electrical fuses, relays and modules and
a compact disc auto-changer attached to body bracketry. The trunk is fitted with push-fit, velour finish, liners (1 Fig. 1) to the sides and front inner panel; the trunk floor is covered with carpet attached to a removable floor board (2 Fig. 1) and a battery cover (3 Fig. I), one covering the spare wheel and wheel changing equipment, the other covering the
battery and electrical carrier.
The floor board rests on the spare wheel, the front and rear edges
of the floor board locating in blocks on the fuel tank
backboard and on the rear of the body. The blocks accommodate the two possible height settings caused by the differ- ence in thickness between the space saver and full sized spare wheels.
A tread plate (4 Fig. 1) is attached to the trunk sill and a liner is fitted to the rear of the trunk below the sill. Interior trim finisher panels are fitted to the rear lamp units accessed from the trunk opening.
The trunk lid
(5 Fig. 1) is fitted with a removable moulded liner and two trunk illumination lights; the lid is supported by two gas struts, attached through press-on fittings between the inner wheel arch and trunk hinge (6 Fig. 1). A warning
triangle is attached by a bracket to the trunk lid and retained in the open position by a rubber block (Europe inc UK only).
Trunk locking is based on a central latch and striker, operated electrically through the central locking system
by an ad- jacent actuator or by key in a barrel lock located behind the trunk lid badge.
