Any differences in tailgate glass?

Did the glass ever change between years or trim levels? Mine is a '99 sport and at my buddies shop he has a parted out '91 with the glas still in it. Would I be able to use it?

If they are different it would be 97+ when they switched to a steel hatch.

Pull the 91's glass/seal and hold it up to your 99 for comparison.

You will need to do as Overland suggests b/c I have tried to research the part numbers on the glass but Jeep changed it's numbering system with the 97(I think) model and thus made the comparison of numbers difficult. There were some rear hatch glasses without a built in defroster though.
