How to remove door windows

[JeepcoMJ]

Removing your door window(s) on a comanche or cherokee is fairly easy.

 

first, remove door panels via 2 screws in the armrest, and 3 screws on the door handle/latch assembly. pull the door panel back, then lift it up, and finaggle with it to get it off the handle assembly.

 

EDIT: will finish later...

How NOT to remove door Windows:

Pull the panel off

Roll window down

Try to unscrew the torx style zinc plated fastener

Spend twenty minutes trying

Cuss at fastener

Cuss at Torx

Cuss at bean counter that changed the fastener from hex head to torx

Cuss at Engineer who decided this fastener needed 200 pounds of torque

(the backing is basically a nylock nut and washer combined so it slips before it lets go.)

Break window with nearby ball peen hammer (see pic)

Pull whole assembly and try to remove nut from regulator using a vise

Cuss at the parents who spawned the evil genius who designed this clever torture device slash window fastener

Grind fastener completely off and pry off nylock backing while cussing...

 

Replace with older style fastener from old 1989 regulator.

 

Thought I'd give you some inspiration.
