Eagle Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I'm hoping to get Old Faithful (my original '88 XJ) back on the road for the winter. It doesn't have tinted glass, and awhile ago I was given a set of factory tinted rear quarter windows from an XJ Limited. Does anyone know what's involved in swapping those windows out? Are they glued in, or is it as simple as working the old gasket out of the opening and working the "new" one in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suds1485 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 you have to remove the old gasket and "work" in the new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser54 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 The glass guy did both in under 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 The glass guy did both in under 10 minutes. Questions: 1) Did he remove the interior trim around the windows? 2) Did he use adhesive/sealant in the grooves of the gaskets when reinstalling? 3) If so, what kind of adhesive/sealant? Butyl? Urethane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88whitemanche Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Eagle- I did this on my 2 door xj going from a 1 pce glass to the 2 pce vent window.... I didn't have to remove the interior pcs in the cargo area but it would be a lot easier working with free space... I didn't have to use any sealant neither...I did the same exact process on the video that the guy from bleepin jeep explained.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No leaks? The FSM calls for sealant ... but it doesn't say what type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 No sealant. Soapy water maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
