Some punk or punks broke my rear vent glass on the drivers side passenger door. Shattered it but the tiny gel it together. Safe lite wants $298 to replace it!

How hard is it to pull the glass from another xj and use it to replace mine?

 

What years will have interchangeable vent glass with my 98? All 88-01?

 

It's not hard

 

easy!
97-01 same.
when you pull it out of a junkyard XJ you will learn how to install it.

 

A glass place told me 92+. You're positive it's only 97+?

 

I believe any year's with factory privacy glass works. With that rear window down and door panel off. There are just 2 bolts. A 10mm is used at the bottom and t30 torx at top of door frame. The 1/4 glass then sides down, to the side, then pull out.

 

yup, i just did mine last night and it was a piece of cake.

 

That's amazing! I'd figure $25 + labor.

 

Seriously! you can get a new glass online for $60

 

what year was your xj and what year was your glass?

 

Hey so is that glass just held in by that frame on the side? Cuz since mine shattered that whole part is full of the broken glass and I can't for the life of me get it out.

Side note- how bad *** would full windows be?! Damn wheel wells.

 

that part is made to glass. new glass = new frame

 

Ah crap for real??? Then the 92 definitely won't work. The glass is separate from the frame.

 

It shouldnt be, unless it seperated due to age

 

it just came out easy as can be to the point where I felt like it was supposed to...the 96- years had different brackets too...there were two torx screws that held a shelf like bracket that the glass sat on. once it came off the glass just slid right out.
