    YOU USED BRAKE CLEANER ON THE HEADLINER!!!!????

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Pa's Spare Time says:

    What a miserable job to have to do, that is just impossible, there just is no way way to get that back together like new. You showed tremendous patience, and kudos for posting it.

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Derek Marshall says:

    FANTASTIC JOB…. KUDOS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO DETAIL.

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Opal Wind says:

    Awesome!!

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars bill smith says:

    You have a smart phone which takes photos. Good work anyway.

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jay Atkin says:

    Maybe get the motor from the old unit and send that home with the customer. A “throw it on a shelf in the garage” spare part that may bring you a repeat customer if the motor does eventually go out. This Jag looks like the owner plans for a “till the wheels fall off” romance type existence.
    Great video!!
    Finally done!!
    Hate it when parts are delayed or whatever!
    🤠👍👍

    I have to hand it to you Ray, there is absolutely no way that I would have tackled that job . I would have just grabbed my cordless angle grinder and found somebody's unattended car and cut a patch out of their roof , allowing for about 2 inches bigger than the sun roof. Then I would have taken a full cartridge of sealant and applied a very liberal bead around the sunroof and then firmly pop riveted it down. Look mum , no leaks…This is just to illustrate how much I detest sunroofs. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul Doucette says:

    Rain i sure hope you get a good tip from the owner..show him this video. I think this job would have had my O.C.D. driving me nuts..I'm alot like you..do the job perfect every time or not at all. That is why stress leave was invented for guys like you and me. Love your professionalism and your positive attitude..I never tire of your videos..watch at least 2 a day. They really relax me after a rough day at work. I appreciate your efforts.

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Matricks_ says:

    Aaaaaaaaaand now I want to watch Austin Powers. Thanks Ray!

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Burn Notice says:

    My sunroof did this. I just permanently sealed it shut. Still have a glass sunroof. Only stays closed. No problem.😁

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars IamLRRR says:

    What an end to the trilogy! Wonder how many jag-ewer mechanics twisted and turned watching this! Ray did a fantastic job (I’ll let the visor slide since the roof panel was reclothed)!

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sylvia Toney says:

    Thanks for your video. I have a sunroof in my Toyota Highlander and I never knew soo much came with the sunroof. Mine has lights and mirrors and God forbid, if I ever have to replace them. I would send my car to you, since you already have experienced the drama. 😀 Thanks again for your videos. I've learned soo much from watching and saving your videos. Have a Great Day as Always!!!

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Daniel Ventura says:

    Please use RainX! Applied correctly it works.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars c J says:

    In the U.K. the value of that car would not justify the cost of the job to replace the sunroof cassette. Would be interested to know the cost of this job in Florida?

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bobby wills says:

    That JB plastic glue, us pretty darn good.

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars AaronAslanian says:

    A hot glue gun would work great for holding down that wire
    loom.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ron Sloan says:

    That Jag has been a very tough project. Old car, hard to find parts and crispy old plastic trim buts that break. Great job Ray and once again your patience helps you to achieve a great result.

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bill Quillin says:

    I hope you remembered to plug in the drain hoses!!!

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars bloodybones63 says:

    Ray, I'm impressed by how you didn't get frustrated with the complicated repair & 'lazy out', or start taking shortcuts, just to be done with it. Seen 'mechanics' do that before.

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Charlotte Lynch says:

    I would have use a marker just outline where the wire's go

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jim B says:

    You have the patience of a god. No way I wouldn’t have shredded that car thing to get pieces out much less putting replacement parts back.

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joe Hebert says:

    What did you use to get the fingerprints and stuff off the headliner

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars R B says:

    Definitely looks like a two man job

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars dewfall56 says:

    Anything from California is trash and overpriced, but they expect you to pay more because it came from somewhere near hollywood, the land of broken dreams and screwing over.

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brennen Goude says:

    Does anything good ever come out of California? Haha

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Peter Hall says:

    Satan invented sunroofs.

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Bengston says:

    Not sure how much you made on that job but that's what they get for buying a Jag

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Cherokee2005 says:

    Great job and awesome video!!!

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Vw bus guy says:

    Ray you have broke me lol everything is Powering Down Now .!!!! My family is tired of me saying it

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rigell says:

    It blows me away just how much trim had to come off of that vehicle to replace that sunroof.

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Judi H. says:

    How did you break thar sunvisor bracket? It's 13 year old plastic, that's how. Not really your fault, it would have happened anyway!

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars DrRick says:

    I’m so happy we finally finished this one Ray!

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Cherokee2005 says:

    It wasn't just any air it was California Air, possibly a little polluted… LOL

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hola! Jason Mobley says:

    Ray welcome to getting parts from ca. I deal with this all the time. I call for parts they tell me once thing it comes and they either give me a different part or it’s broken or beyond repair

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars DrRick says:

    I need a Xanax after watching this!

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Pinckard says:

    sun roofs are from satan.

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lance Corey says:

    A broken plastic tab on the sun visor. While you wait for eBay parts, try the JB Weld Plastic Bonder to fix it. It may be a handy fix in the future.

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ron Wilson says:

    Where did you source that LB weld product with the internal mixing probe? I can't find it anywhere. ("JB weld plastic high strength plastic bonder") Huh? Huh?

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Burns Brimhall says:

    I would say this takes great mechanic skills!

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars B61 Mack says:

    For your broken sun visor you had the glue to repair it with. 3M make a glue that's use to hold Corvettes together. It's called panel Bond it's tougher than plastic welding.

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nelson Glass says:

    Sorry, not surprising for my state California… quality of service sucks…. Customer service is hard to find… sorry

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steve Trunk says:

    Jobs like that are always such a chore. And you can never seem to get things back together factory perfect.
    But were it me, I would have pulled the seats out. Gives you much more room to work and you might find a peanut.

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars mmmh2o5 says:

    You know the first one was fine. It never rains in Southern California.

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Les Reeves says:

    Ray you should have followed your own advice & taken pictures of the harness layout before removing it.

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars matt wickert says:

    Many years ago, my Nissan Maxima (1995 model, I think) the sun roof would not close and was stuck in the open position fully back. Dealer had to hand-crank it closed, but it did not seal all the way. Duct Tape was my temporary fix. Dealer quoted for a full sunroof replacement, saying it wasn't fixable. Found a part # for a rebuild kit for the track hardware. A few hours labor, and it worked good as new.

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars kemop06 says:

    What was the place in CA ? So I know to never order anything from them like ever LOL

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jason says:

    Man, the patience you have is unreal .

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ab bush says:

    God damn Jaguar and their god damn parts !

  50. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Fish Aussie says:

    Great work in getting the sun roof in

  51. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jamie Hart says:

    Welcome to parts from CA

  52. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars P3cNavyBrat says:

    Jags suck

  53. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ronny Jakobsson says:

    Ray you are such a pro at car repairs, directing and filming. This video proves it all. Great work on the Jag. Especially since it was a month ago you disassembled it.

  54. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars tony monastiere says:

    Most importantantly, you show up for work and you get things DONE!!!
    THAT IS CALLED DEDICATION!!!
    I hope everyone around you sees this code of honor! If they don't, they are the real fools!!! 🗽🇺🇸

  55. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steve B says:

    So that's what rain looks like.

  56. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kurtis says:

    I been waiting for this video lol. I was getting Curious lol

  57. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ZEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO00 says:

    Well, did that take care of the feaking leak????? You never did say!!!!!

  59. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mary Mulrooney says:

    I wanted to see the new sun roof working…..Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  60. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars tony longbard says:

    Nice job still gotta test it wit water tho!

  61. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars R jD says:

    Just so you know, refusing to acknowledge this is only making you look guilty. This is all being recorded and documented for legal issues. You really need to resolve this before i send it to my lawyers. This isn't a joke as I have proof YOU told me I won a truck from you.

  62. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars badger jamees says:

    Take note,dont buy a car with a stupid sunroof ! They are not worth the trouble you will eventually have.

  63. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars badger jamees says:

    Unbelievable ! Whoever sent this needs a foot up the arse.

  64. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars CNC295 says:

    If it was shipped by UPS no wonder it arrived rival beat up in missing parts

  65. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Moefuggerr says:

    Long repair.

  66. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars cengeb says:

    take pictures before you take wire harness apart

  67. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kevin Durica says:

    Does that spray not change the colour of the fabric??? Can you elaborate more please???

  68. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars SKYRAIDER8 says:

    Ray, you have extreme patience and a large amount of creativity.

  69. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars cengeb says:

    Those airbags are way past their use by date!! 07 it's 2022, they probably won't work when needed, should change em

  70. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Demon orb says:

    You need an aloominum magnet they sell um with metric adjustable spanners and dehydrated water! 😄👍

  71. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars R jD says:

    Ray… I'm waiting for a response before I call my lawyers. Where is my truck?
    I have Telegram messages from you saying you don't scam your viewers and that I won a truck. Are you not even going to acknowledge this in ANY way?

  72. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Declan O Shaughnessy says:

    Great job done Ray on the repair to Jaguar 🐆 back to life click click best wishes from Ireland hope the weather is good in the States Loud Noises in Ireland too best wishes Declan O Shaughnessy 👍👍👍

  73. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars cengeb says:

    they put that in at the factory, when the inside is a big empty space!!!

  74. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Wacky Rig Kentucky says:

    As Paul Harvey would say and now we know the rest of the story. I was wondering about this project thx Raymond

  75. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars cengeb says:

    Using the post office box, not to send stuff through the post office, is actually a federal violation….it's not packing material, and someone spent a fortune to ship junk! real smart. oy vey

  76. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Job38 Four says:

    You did well to only break small part of sun-visor………

  77. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kevin Durica says:

    That's not camera gravity, its special effects.

  78. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Page says:

    As I get into this one, I have to say even before you attempt to install this USED and quite possibly big mistake of a fix, that ebay sells brand new tracks which seems to be a better fix as one of the problems I've read about with this particular problem is that the tracks get old and brittle.
    To me it's like taking the liver from a donor that's 100 years old and putting it into a young man.
    I don't see this going well and I would like to know what kind of warranty your company will be providing on this fix.
    If I were the owner of that car I'd be asking the same questions and wondering why you didn't use new parts.
    Ok, now I will watch the rest of the "horror show" (Just kidding).
    NOW, you're at the point of the finding that this piece of crap part is useless.
    WHO made the decision to even go this way?????!!!!
    Bad choice!!
    But, hopefully in this fix, YOU will go ahead and get the new parts from ebay.
    Now I see that you have another used unit.
    The new tracks from ebay even come with the grease.
    I'll be watching to see if you grease this one as well but with what kind of grease?
    It is not clear what type of grease it is. Maybe just some standard silicone?
    Ok, I'm watching further…………………This is better than watching an episode of "Better Call Saul".

    All Jaguars belong in junkyards.

  80. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Catherine Smith says:

    Fabulous!

  81. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars sfeddie1 says:

    Is it me, or a trick of lighting, but it seems that the new headliner, A-pillar covers and the sun visors are three different colors. Don’t think it would come from the factory that way???

  82. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars R jD says:

    Hey Ray. You awarded me a truck but will not tell me how to get it. WTF?

  83. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Andrew Law says:

    And this is why I won't buy a car with a sunroof, too much hassle when they go wrong. Climate control negates needing a sunroof.

  84. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Daniel C says:

    The never ending Jag sunroof!

  85. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Operator713 says:

    Don't remember how the wiring was on the top of the liner? If only you had a video that showed the removal process so you could just look at what it looked like before you pulled it apart…

  86. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Neil Stone says:

    Nope not a job for me

  87. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bill Neu says:

    All I can say great work you are one of a few good people another true American Bill N LI NY

  88. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars anton oudenhoven says:

  89. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stewart Lewis says:

    Thank God your getting paid to do that, I would have smashed the crap out of it through frustration after five minutes.

  90. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Anthony Menegoni says:

  91. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars bill says:

    What about the AirBag?

  92. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sakara123 says:

    our backup daily of a 2003 honda civic has a sunroof that somehow works perfectly still. Yet everything newer than 2010 that we've owned has had at a minimum of 1 replaced sunroof.

    Does anyone know to what Radiostation Ray is listening to in the shop and if it has a online Stream available ? Greetings from a German mechanic

  94. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Larry Harvilla says:

    Ray, your issues with flashlight gravity are the stuff of legend. 😛

  95. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars The Underground Lair of the Squankum says:

    Ray, glad to see you enlist the help of another mechanic. Wish you'd done it when moving the old one out and the new one in! Reduce the odds of things gone wrong. Heck, some seat covers and moving blankets also might have protected the interior from possible screw up.

  96. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bruce Morris says:

    Man that looks like a nightmare. No way I would tackle something like that. Good job 👍

  97. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jason Luther says:
