Just did a set on my buddy's Jeep tonight, didn't take the window out, 2 torx head from the top, 1 10mm holding the front window rail in place, roll the window down and had to wiggle the bottom of the rail, but came out nice, went in nice. Check the JY's, there are a ton of Jeeps in them right now, got another buddy just picked up a set we will probably put in tomorrow.

Default Found a Pair!

Two Bone-Yards here had the windows. First place I tried isn't a place I have been often, they wanted $29 each and acted like I was bothering them by wanting to buy something while they had no other customers...

I returned to my normal pilaging grounds and left with the set and some other stuff for $36 total!

FYI, wing windows are the same deminsions for 89 - 96.

Thanks to all for the inputs/incouragement.

I think they were getting $10 each here for them. Mine don't whistle or leak and I like the added air ventilation. Very happy with the swap.

Default He wrote that song about me...

... "One Piece At A Time..."

I need to change my User name to that because if I stop to add up all the things I have put into this rig, Cheap may no longer apply!

I pitty whoever gets this rig after me. They are going to go crazy trying to figure out how the basic model has options from so many other Jeeps

I think that when I repaint this spring, I'll shave all the Jeep emblems and add a couple Ford "Custom" badges...

my 91 has them too. i dont like them all that much though. my passenger side lock broke, so i just used, i think, a one and a half inch long 7/16 carrage bolt and one of those thinner nuts and a wing nut and bought a silicone pot holder and cut a washer out for the outside and used a nylon washer on the inside, and a little piece of solid strip metal.
