neohic Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I added power windows and locks to my '88 Eliminator using the factory manuals and from a few diagrams. Here's a link to the manual: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=12734&hilit=Electrical+manual ... good stuff in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 i like to call them......leakers :agree: That's what they're for -- to let water into the cabin. Somewhere around '94 pr '95 they changed the type of strike on the door jamb, and the height of the strike in the door. I've never known exactly what year that happened. Quick check -- if the latch uses a single post like on your '88, you're good to go. If the latch on the jamb is brass colored and U-shaped -- it probably is at a different height than yours and won't be a direct replacement.

kyleag89 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I had those butterfly windows on my 93XJ which was the last year they made them I think because neither of my 94s had them. I loved them and didn't have a problem with them, however all the windows I have seen at the junk yard have been rusted/rotted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 From what i remember the striker changed in 97 with the new doors. I thought it was a year or two earlier, but you may be correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STERLING STINGER Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Ok so What year cherokee will fit my 92 comanche? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Ok so What year cherokee will fit my 92 comanche? It appears very safe to say '86 thru '94 XJ, and probably through '96. Look at where the latch is on your doors (vertically). As long as the donor doors have the latch in the same (vertical) position, you're good to go. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=24307&p=249400&hilit=door+strike+latch#p249400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STERLING STINGER Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 thanks. i havent got out there yet because of the weather. it looks like a little work to get a door off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 thanks. i havent got out there yet because of the weather. it looks like a little work to get a door off. If possible, get into the kick panel areas beside the footwells and unplug the speaker wires and (if electric) the window and lock wiring. The biggest thing to remember is that a complete door assembly is HEAVY. Either prop up the back end of it while you remove the six torx screws, or bring a husky friend to help you wrestle with it.

The biggest thing to remember is that a complete door assembly is HEAVY. Either prop up the back end of it while you remove the six torx screws, or bring a husky friend to help you wrestle with it. I find it easiest to remove the two bolts closest to the inside with the door open and then remove the remaining four with the door closed through the hinge access holes.(This requires the fenders to be removed.) Then you just grab the door handle, the front edge of the door, press the door latch button, and walk off! Also best to have the window rolled down to avoid accidents.
