Default Wing window

Well, A/C shot and don't have the desire to rip out the whole interior to replace the Evap. Core. (this summer)

So, I have a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Classic with the wings windows that are permanently closed. Will an opening wing window from an older Cherokee fit on the 1996?

If so, what years?

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply.

So this 1987 window would bolt right in?

Yes, you can swap over to the older style windows.

I did that exact thing! If I recall correctly, I got mine out of a junkyard '87 4-door, and I have a '96 2-door. I had to put some closed-cell rubber foam at the bottom of the window frame to seal the window frame to the door, but other than that, they're great! Now I just need to find the rear window vent ones

PS: Well, they whistle on the highway if I have them closed, but I never have them closed, so no big deal! (Best $20 spent so far!)
