Default Unusual drivers side armrest for 2-door 1998 Cherokee

Inherited a 1998 2-door Cherokee and starting to fix it up.
Don't know if I will find this part - looking for a drivers side armrest. The tricky part is that the windows are manual, but the armrest has controls for electric mirrors only, no window switches, and the armrest lays flat. Everything I find online is made for full power controls and is angled up the door panel. Will a four-door 1998 Cherokee door panel fit on a two-door?

Thanks!

No, a 4-door door panel will not fit on a 2 door. I know what you mean though. I have the same thing in my 98 4-door. No power windows or locks but I've got power mirrors lol

Thanks for the feedback, Jeepin!
This is going to be an oddball part to locate. Might have to live with a plastic armrest!

Yeah man it's probably a rare piece to find. Not many 2-doors out there to begin with

What you have is an SE.

2D and 4D SEs came with power mirrors.


Yes, it will be a tough find.

Those are still a dealer item, look at 'pull down' for find your SE panel.

But, pony-up, $275 each.

Yes, fully aware mine is an SE, still have the original window sticker . As far as the choices on your link there, none state they are for manual windows WITH power mirrors.

I have those door panels you are asking about in mine. The factory mirror switch is cut into the arm rest. Like you can see where they just cut the normal armrest and stuck the switch in the hole.

Not mine. Ralph77 posted this pic last year. I believe this is the armrest in question.
