The switches are arranged to reference front\/rear and left\/right windows. The rear seats have individual switches embedded in their door handles.<\/p>\n<p>The vintage toggle switches and related components &#8212; switches, relays, motors, regulators, and wiring &#8212; has now degraded but remains operational. <\/p>\n<p>At the same time, we&#8217;d like to keep the esthetics as period-correct as possible by avoiding the molded plastic designs common in modern sedans.<\/p>\n<p>Jaguar had a pretty good reason for not putting power window switches on the front doors &#8230; namely, there isn&#8217;t much room.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2313\" style=\"width: 966px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/door-casings.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2313\" src=\"https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/door-casings.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"956\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/door-casings.png 956w, https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/door-casings-330x104.png 330w, https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/door-casings-768x241.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 956px) 100vw, 956px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2313\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Comparative door casings<\/p><\/div>\n<p>There are four horizontal embossed &#8220;weld&#8221; patterns. The top one is a padded bumper casing that covers the window attachments and and provides an arm rest over the glass track. The second wider band contains the door open and lock plate; directly to the rear is a blank area that covers part of the locking mechanism. About an inch behind the metal skin is the glass window, so there isn&#8217;t enough room for power window switches there.<\/p>\n<p>The narrow third band already looks cluttered with the driver side mirror swivel; this space also conflicts with the window motors mounts. So, in summary, about the only location for front door power window switches would be in the fourth band with the arm rest\/handle, a solution Jaguar implemented for the rear seat power window switches. However, unlike the rear seat construction, the front seat has a pocket design that makes mounting a switch difficult.<\/p>\n<p>So the only available real estate is forward of the armrest\/pocket, directly below the chrome door handle and behind the speaker enclosure. Unfortunately, this is the area used to mount the window regulator and electric motor, so Jaguar had no realistic choice: the center console had to have the front power window controls and a master control for the rear windows.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Motor_upgrades_and_power_locking\"><\/span>Motor upgrades and power locking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although all four window units still operate, the age of the system dictates a replacement with modern motors and regulators. Adding power locking with central key fob control (plus driver door activation) is a useful modern convenience that avoids fumbling around with small Jaguar keys.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Console_control_upgrade\"><\/span>Console control upgrade<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_2315\" style=\"width: 340px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/14044.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2315\" src=\"https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/14044-330x192.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"330\" height=\"192\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/14044-330x192.jpg 330w, https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/14044-768x446.jpg 768w, https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/14044.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 330px) 100vw, 330px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2315\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Classic Pontiac\/Firebird switch row<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The original &#8220;staggered&#8221;

Two pillar spacers keep the motor in position and a third pillar spacer near the top of the window glide provides added stability.<\/p>\n<p>An anchor bolt at the bottom of the vertical window glide helps secure the entire window assembly. <\/p>\n<p>A horizontal support bar is secured with custom machined &#8220;C-clamps&#8221; that are tightened with a set screw into the side glass guide at the top, and hold the horizontal bar at the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>The chrome XJ6 exterior door handles and interior lock hardware is attractive enough to retain. The convenience of remote push button locking can be accomplished by adding door actuators wired up to the Infinitybox inMotion system. The actuators are only 1.25&#8243; deep are positioned under a raised bump in the interior door skin to allow enough clearance with the glass pane. <\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Front_door\"><\/span>Front door<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_3754\" style=\"width: 1686px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/front-door1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3754\" src=\"https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/front-door1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1676\" height=\"937\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/front-door1.png 1676w, https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/front-door1-330x184.png 330w, https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/front-door1-768x429.png 768w, https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/front-door1-1024x572.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1676px) 100vw, 1676px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3754\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Front door fitment of window regulator, lock actuator, and speakers<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The front door presents the same fitment challenges as the rear but is addressed in a similar manner with FixIt putty used to secure spacer motor mounts, C-clamps bar supports, and lock actuators fastened under &#8220;bumps&#8221; on the interior door skin.<\/p>\n<p>One benefit of a vertical window system is that space is freed up outside of the window pane glides. <\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3755\" style=\"width: 1684px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/front-door-panel.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3755\" src=\"https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/front-door-panel.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1674\" height=\"934\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/front-door-panel.png 1674w, https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/front-door-panel-330x184.png 330w, https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/front-door-panel-768x429.png 768w, https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/front-door-panel-1024x571.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1674px) 100vw, 1674px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3755\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Front door panel with component placements<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This means that Pioneer tweeters can be put close to the 5.25&#8243; speaker enclosure (before this would have been in conflict with the window motor), eliminating the need for more drastic door shell surgery.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3751\" style=\"width: 1598px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pioneer-speaker-position.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3751\" src=\"https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pioneer-speaker-position.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1588\" height=\"881\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pioneer-speaker-position.png 1588w, https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pioneer-speaker-position-330x183.png 330w, https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pioneer-speaker-position-768x426.png 768w, https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/XJ6\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pioneer-speaker-position-1024x568.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1588px) 100vw, 1588px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3751\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Relocation of window motor allows speaker and tweeter mounting<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Legacy window system Although power windows were first introduced in the 1940 Packard using an innovative hydro-electric system, Jaguar lagged far behind the industry.
