mattbuch96 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Recently replaced my "smokers window" for solid windows and during the process my main window came out of the track so I had to cut a hole in the vapor barrier to get it back in the track. Any ideas how to seal the hole or just replace the vapor barrier?
Minuit Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 I replaced my vapor barriers with ones from a 96 XJ and attached it with velcro so it could be removed for service. It's made out of vinylish material rather than the clear plastic.
johnj92131 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 I had a roll of plastic carpet floor runner in the garage. I just cut a length of that and trimmed it to fit. Nice heavy plastic! BUT I like Minuit's idea of using the 96 door barrier with velcro for easy future removal very much. May just have to pull my door panel off again and use velcro to hold it on.
64 Cheyenne Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 I took heavy black construction grade plastic (slang-visqueen), 3M spray adhesive on the edges, cut out where needed, easily opened,repaired, or replaced if needed.
Dzimm Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 How "factory" of a fix are you looking for? Cause you know duct tape fixes everything!!
A-man930 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 This stuff is where its at; super handy for all kinds of things in the garage. I keep it in the beer fridge. Get plastic from whatever suits your fancy
fiatslug87 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 If you want ones like Minuit's but new: http://teamcherokee.com/door-panel-water-shield-rear-oem-cherokee-comanche-1984-1996/
ParadiseMJ Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 The one pictured is the rear XJ door... This is the front like you would use for an MJ...jeez, more than twice as much, but still do-able. http://teamcherokee.com/door-panel-water-shield-cherokee-comanche-1984-1996/
fiatslug87 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 The link I posted specifically says "These Will Fit All 4 Door Jeep Cherokee & Wagoneer Model & Comanche Front Doors From 1984-1996," so does your link. Did XJ rear doors have speakers or is that not the correct picture?
Minuit Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 It's Team Cherokee, you never know. Both pics are the right thing but one listing says it's for the front and one for the rear. They obviously don't put a lot of effort into their listings. They didn't even charge me for mine at the JY. Most of them are torn up but I happened to get lucky and find an unmolested set.
gogmorgo Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Is there any serious advantage or disadvantage to having them or not? Mine fell apart and went bye-bye a long time ago.
Minuit Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 They stop water from ruining the door panels. The ones I showed in my pic also protect the speakers and might protect the power window switches a little bit.
