Default changing windows?

Hi, I have a 95 xj country i was wondering if you can change out the solid windows for the flip out windows on the driver and pass. front doors. Ya know the little smoking window.

I had a 2000 xj a few years ago and traded for a zr2 well back to the xj gotta love em ,but i hate the little window there wish it was gone!!!


Thanks Shane

I've tried it. After taking out the window and all the screws I couldn't get the wing window to come out. Gave up and put it all back together.

I just took a set out for the same swap from a 93 to a 96 there is a screw, I believe it's torx head on the bottom that holds the rail in place, I took the whole window out though, you might have to do that.
