Hi all - I sure do see a lot of the newer 4-door Jeeps running around town. I really like how their rear windows are soft top/plastic windows. Really got me thinking about how to do this on my XJ.

I was thinking about removing the rear windows and then doing some sort of velcro-in clear plastic window material.

Before I get too far - anybody do this before ?

Thanks -

Easy access for thievin' scum.

Don't do it.

im not 100% on this but i do believe the rear window is a sturctural piece.
i think you can aslong as you reinforce the rear hatch.
i went through tech school and i learned about windows alittle bit..
but then again.. doors are supposed to be to and people take those off..
once again i have no idea.. just throwin down a thought.. might wana wait till someone with more experience can tell you.

The doors are not structural, neither is the rear glass.

This is a common misconception regarding XJ's.

BUT! U know doors and windows are structural on other vehicles like single cab pickups. So could be the source of the misconception.

i have an 90 and my rear window pops out sometimes when i flex it to much i thought about doin to before
