I think it was a mechanic that once taught me that double-checking your work once everything is assembled is always a little scary, but in case something was amiss, it's a lot better you find it than the customer. You have yourself a good day too, Ray, thanks for having us along for the ride!

@gotdangedcommiesitellyahwa6298 2 года назад

Nothing like getting your car back, finding something they broke or didn't fix that they were supposed to, then having them say "not our responsibility". TF it isn't!

@gregoryking9348 2 года назад

Lordy my back and neck hurts just watching all this. I'm a 6'4", 240lb, 64 year old former mechanic and I freaking ALWAYS hated doing interior and underdash work. I've had 4 back surgeries since 1990, different disc each time, and I can't even imagine trying to do what you're doing. Kudos for a great job, and your tenacity and perseverance. Take care of that back brother!!

@mindpilot72 2 года назад

Same. I had to quit fixing cars after a back surgery.

@gregoryking9348 2 года назад

@@mindpilot72 It sucks for true Gearheads who love working on cars as a hobby. My midlife crisis 96 LT1 Firebird WS.6 has been up in the air in my garage for 2 months needing a throwout bearing all because my POS back decided to pull it's shit and shows no indication of just being a backache. Looks like the party's over and she'll be up for sale or trade soon. The last 55 years was fun while it lasted. Kids are grown and wife passed away 7 years ago so at least my back held together long enough to work and support my family. On to the next challenge. Whatever it is it'll involve spinning a wrench! Even if it's just old guy lawnmower repair. :D

@iHelpSolveIt 2 года назад

Yep, I feel for you, know how that feels.... And knees... Bent down today to tighten the Meriva steering column spline, omg so much pain. Had to put matting on the floor. For the younger mechanics, please wear knee protection, ear protection that musicians use because no one warns you how you will suffer because of the job

@iHelpSolveIt 2 года назад

@@gregoryking9348 try this, get some Epsom salts, run a hot bath and use roughly a cup full in the bath... Also I use ibruprofien to reduce the swelling. Use the salts, then the ibruprofien before bed and make sure you have the right mattress... If its older than three years, chuck it away. Also swimming in a heated pool helps... Just a pity the US medical system is so corrupt that you suffer. Get some holiday insurance and go to Cape Town there is a brilliant thoracic specialist there who can help

@willmorici5765 2 года назад

Exceptional job in diagnosing the problem and resolving it, even if it take quite a bit of time. Seems the supply chains problems seem to be getting worse everywhere. But glad to see that, after a month, you could get that entire interior back together. Fantastic work, as always!

I'm amazed of what you went through with the Jaguar putting all those pieces together like a puzzle I walked as you were and the head visor would be the least thing I would break if I attempted that job you have the patience and the grace to continue a difficult task many blessings in your work and many blessings for you and your family Jose from New Hampshire

@robpeabo509 2 года назад

This must be relieving knowing it doesn't leak. It's the type of repair where there is no wiggle room, it is either 100% fixed or still broken. Good diagnosis & repair Ray.

@rodneywise6413 2 года назад

I have had a policy that nobody will work on my truck but me, because I was the only one I would trust to do it right. Now I break that policy. I would trust Ray to work on my truck any day! Great work, Ray!

@AMStationEngineer 2 года назад

I was an industrial engineer for Boeing for eighteen short, but interesting years. For the last five of those years, I was assigned the task of minimizing the occurrence of repetitive-motion injuries, mainly carpal tunnel and DeQuervain's tenosynovitis. It rapidly became apparent, that "thumb-heel and palm hammering" did far more damage that originally thought. We developed a series of 'dead blow hammering devices', which actually made the installation of flexible 'surround' materials onto surfaces requiring non-permanent sealing somewhat faster, and actually did reduce injuries by more than 30 percent.

@louis202 2 года назад

What a freaking job ! I cannot believe you have done it ! Wonderful and successful ! Removing all interior trim to fix that opening roof, and on a clear interior on top of it ! Lucky Jaguar owner. Who else would have fixed this the proper way ? Thank you Ray to share such work dedication.

@dustcommander100 2 года назад

Well done! You stuck to the job instead of sticking it to the customer. So many details.......

@davidhoulden5791 2 года назад

@davidhiggins468 2 года назад

exactly, i found why my aircon needs to be degassed every 18 months for last 10 yrs, Service valves required replacement, no shop had replaced them even though its had no end of leak sealer etc, saw rays video, took off the caps and could see it bubbling. valves replaced , no more probs.

@paulsullivan6392 2 года назад

Well done Ray. I hope the customer is understanding about the broken sun visor and accepts the fact that the shop is going to replace it. This project just goes to show there is a valid reason someone coined the term "Euro-trash".

@h7pubg 2 года назад

not euro trash, any car with a sunroof has these issues, it is a working motorized tracked part, of course it’s prone to failure. jaguars during ford ownership are great cars, very reliable.

@partyon5374 2 года назад

Ray, you are definitely a cut a bove other mechanics. When I first saw this sunroof leak issue not being fixed when you first replaced the outer seal, I thought for sure you would not continue looking for answers. Staying with a vehicle until it is fully repaired is something most techs these days just do not do. 'Five Stars'

@peteb2 2 года назад

I recall a similar model XJseries with the same issue. The owner sprung the bucks & had it customized into cut down mini pickup truck or 'ute' & the sunroof leak issue was resolved by welding in a curve formed sheet steel panel. The setup became a carpenter's hack & really earned its keep!

@s.cottrill 2 года назад

@justcurious3525 2 года назад

The one thing that struck me with this repair is that you had the courage to track your challenges and failures along with your successes and post them for everyone to see. With all of those challenges, you weren't going to know if you were successful until very near the end of the job, yet you pushed on through and shared it for all to see. A lesser mechanic/technician may have just refused the job from the beginning. Wonderful job and a great video series.

I love Jaguars and I love sunroofs, but I don't own either, for obvious reasons. I did have a sunroof many years ago on my second car, and it had been sealed up. I was young and silly and when summer came I thought it would be cool to open it up. I learnt why the previous owner had sealed it!! Free shower while you drive. Nice on sunny days though.

@peoplethesedaysberetarded 2 года назад

Jaguars look so, so nice. The XJ series especially. And on the four days a year they run, they seem to be really good machines. Smooth. Powerful. When I can afford to have a home car-lift and a known-bad not-daily-driver car, I might pick one up and rewire it end to end.
