Re: [Amc-list] 87 Cherokee doors

["Jeff Reeves" <jeffr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I know vent windows were optional up through at least 1994. 
 
In 1997, Cherokees got one-piece front door glass, eliminating the
smaller glass entirely. While the 97-up door will physically fit onto an
older Jeep body and externally line up, the inner structure of the door
is different enough that you'd also have to utilize the 97-up door trim
panels as the inside door handle is located differently. I would LOVE to
have the one-piece door glass in my 94 XJ, but when I saw all the
differences in the door structure and the window mechanisms, I figured
I'd leave well enough alone. 
 
That said, all 1984-1996 Jeep XJ doors are interchangeable (4-door to
4-door, 2-door to 2-door, of course). 
 
It's a very easy mod to add the moveable vent windows to XJs that
originally had fixed glass-it's all a bolt in operation that doesn't
even require removal of the larger door glass. I did so on my 94 XJ.
However, I will be removing the moveable vents shortly and reinstalling
the original fixed glasses. The reason for this is that the moveable
windows leak whenever it rains more than just a light shower. The one on
the passenger door leaks right down on/over the power window and lock
switches. I haven't been able to determine a way to stop the leaking and
still have functional vents.
