Warren99 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I know it's popular to take the window from a 97+ XJ door and with a little bit of modification you can put it in an MJ door, which eliminates the pillar in the window. Everytime I've seen this it's with a manual window, I was wondering if it's possible to take a Comanche with power windows and put in the 97+ glass. Even if it is possible, I don't know if I'd go that route or not because I rly like the idea of vent triangle windows, I just need to find some.

fiatslug87 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 My understanding is you need the 97+ regulators. Read through Gjeep’s Son of Stink build, I believe he documented it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren99 Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 Ok, funnily enough the parts MJ I have came with fully complete 97 doors with power everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghetdjc320 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I just installed power 97+ windows in my build as well. I used the newer style power regulators with the detached motor. The install isn’t too bad but I did need to use some spacers of different lengths to properly align the regulator angle to the glass track angle. You’ve got to get it aligned so the glass maintains a nice constant tension on the rear track to keep the glass from having excessive play.

Warren99 Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 Yea I went and saw Gjeeps build. I have plenty of time to decide what I wanna do. If I happen to find some triangle windows that fold in a junkyard in good condition I'm just simply putting those in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 The operable triangular vent windows ALWAYS leak when it rains. I repeat: ALWAYS It's a design flaw. When I bought my '88 Cherokee new, I had to pay extra to get those operable vents -- they were an option back then. They leaked from the first time I had it out in the rain. I took it back to the dealer under warranty. They put me in touch with the factory rep. FR: "We have a fix for that." Me: "Great! What's the fix and how long does it take?" FR: "We remove the operable vents and install fixed glass. It takes a couple of hours." Me: "But I paid extra for operable vents. Do you refund me the cost of the option when you remove it?" FR: "Oh, no. But it stops the leak." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren99 Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 Hm, maybe I'll just keep my fixed glass then. Honestly as long as my a/c starts working I don't care that much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
