EUREKA

I'm reading silicon sprays can soften old rubber., and I have silicon spray on the shelf. Or a solution of a solution of three parts isopropyl alcohol and one part methyl salicylate (wintergreen oil) but I don't happen to have any of that laying around.

I was able to find my other piece. I'm going to use plastic retainers and 3m super weatherstrip adhesive to install them. But I would like to limber them up first. I don't have any diesel rigs. I wonder what else I might use to make them more pliable?

Its a bit stiff but I have it in the sun right now. Trying to get it flattened out. I'm not finding the other one though.

Looks like I have one of them, not in the best shape. I might find the other one around here somewhere.

@Limeyjeeper Any details on your fix for this? How did it work out?

Looks like I'm going to have to rivet some small aluminum angle to the spot and install a piece of door seal on it. Or find some other weather strip with adhesive back that will do the job. I didn't see this one coming.

That's the response I get constantly, and I understand that I am in a rare situation but, I live 3 hours and 10 minutes drive (155 miles) from an auto wreckers. That's 6 hours 20 minutes rounds trip.

Looks like part numbers 55005012 is one side and 55005013 is the other. One of them on Ebay in Germany, https://www.ebay.com/itm/304438432959

Yep that's the one.

I was also referring to the diagram on the left's #5

Wow, that settles it then.

Ok, that's what I was hoping to hear. Thanks

I'm looking for number 5 in this diagram,

I think I recall hearing somewhere that only the steel wheels are able to safely handle the metric ton payload. Is this true or can i run a set of alloy wheels?

Mine was delaminating.

Joes is going to get me the windshield and come to my house to install it. Thanks for the recommendation! Thanks! I'll call them today

Thanks! I'll call them today.

The nearest Safelite is 153 miles from my house. There is no longer a wreckers in my area due to a fire, and loss of insurance. But even before that they never kept cars as old as 2001 very long before crushing them.

I cannot find the later style either. Not available locally and can't find it online.

founds the clips, https://teamcherokee.com/products/windshield-molding-complete-26-piece-clip-set-cherokee-1987-1996.html

All of the auto glass shops in my region use the same distributor, and they do not have access to windshields for 1983 - 2001 XJ/MJ. I have not been able to find the windshield for sale online. Its looking like l will have to make a 4.5 hour (each way) to purchase a windshield. Anyone know where I can purchase a windshield online? I also need the plastic clips that attach the chrome trim that surrounds the windshield to the body. Unless there is a very good reason I should go with the rubber 1-piece windshield molding? Thanks

Thanks Pete!

So I was reinstalling my wiper transmission and motor when I dropped the little clip nut that the 10m bolt goes into. Seen in this picture. It sounded like it went all the way to the passenger side of the cavity in there. I am not having any luck fishing it out with a magnet. I'm hoping it didn't somehow hop and go into the HVAC system. I'm not clear on the construction of the body panels. If I remove the plastic piece up in the passenger wheel well is there a chance it will fall out of there?

I did this on my passenger side and it went well. Doing the drivers side this week.
