butterfly/ vent window removal

[88pioneer]

The doors i pulled off of my comanche had the vent windows in them, but the new ones don't and i would like them in my new doors. I saw that there a 2 screws in the top of the door, and was wondering if there was any other trick to getting these out besides taking those screws out.

its been a little while but there's a rivet or something behind the door panel, it seemed to be a pain in my memory

Likewise it's been a while for me, but I remember two in the top and one more at the bottom of the window track. I don't think it was a rivet though.

ok, thanks alot. i'll let you know how it turns out

At the bottom of that track there is a bolt, 10mm. The door panel will have to come off. You may also have to remove the window to get it out... or maybe not, I just know its a pain putting it back together though. Good luck

I removed mine with the main window rolled all the way down. :thumbsup: It's a tight fit, but it works.

I just pulled a pair of vent windows in the JY today :D

 

A XJ gave them up.

 

Took me 10 minuets to get them out, and one had the power window rolled up, but I got it down :brows:

 

Remove the 2 door edge screws, crank the window all the way down, pull the door arm rest, if you have hockey stick style, swing them up 90* and the top will pop right off, pull the window crank, and the 3 screws for the door release handle, pop the door panel off, lift up on the rear, and pull to the rear, work the door release around the cut out. The plastic sheet, you can just pull it up from the bottom. There is a bolt inside the door, near the window crank shaft, yes, it takes 10mm. Pull the glass wipes out of the door edge, and pull the top of the wing window towards the rear, and the pull the rest of the "track" up and inside of the door, and that's it.
