I have the car listed above XK model. Couldn't find an option to choose xk so I have chosen xk140, she is convertible. The rear window regulator is making a crunching noise and I believe I need to replace the regulator. I need instructions on how to get to it as far as removing the trim and such.

Hello,

I found the rear quart glass replacement instructions featured in the diagrams below which include adjustments once the job is complete and initialization as well. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed. Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see what's going on? That would be great. You can upload it here with your response.
