rear1/4 window moldings
Swapping out some glass we picked for our 98 and looking for advice on rear 1/4 window trim molding and rear hatch?
Rear hatch is 119$ oem
Anything else to use? rear 1/4 is NA at dealer?

Rear quarter weather strip, Morris 4x4. Item #13
http://www.morris4x4center.com/jeep-...therstrips.htm
They've got the rear hatch strip too, $99.
*facepalm* just noticed you've got a 98, those are listed through 96. I'd call and see what they have?

It says up to 96 for item 13
Is there a diff?
I read up on a couple swaps and it seems that a 96 is smaller than a 98, But I don't really know if it is...
edit-Thanks I'll do that!

The rear window on a 98+ is glued in. There is no seal. That part you see is costmetic to fill the gap.
I have rear 1/4 window seals from parts Jeeps that I'll gladly ship to you.
PM me if you're interested.

TeamCherokee is literally minutes from my house but an utterly awful company. Stay away.
This isn't the only story, and it is far from the worst story, but this is my personal experience with them.

After being told I'd receive a call back and never getting one, I got in contact with them again (their phone goes to voicemail a lot, and my messages never got returned; I switched my tactic to spam-dialing until someone picked-up because it's the only way I ever established communication with them) and arranged to make an exchange in person to get a better matching pair. The person I made the arrangement with was not there, and no one who was there didn't have the first clue who I was, why I was there, or where my contact was--"She should be here; I don't know where she is."
I was first greeted by a young girl who was extra clueless and even though by her own admission she was just a shipping person and didn't know about anything else, she was quite persistent about butting into my business there and kept telling me to leave and come back later (even though she didn't know when "later" should be). The other shipping girl seemed more knowledgeable and was trying to be helpful but was also understandably in above her head. They both kept going back to an office to ask some guy questions who never did come out to see me, and I was told quite unprofessionally by Girl #1 that he's very irritable and just yells at them for asking him things. Awesome.
Eventually (about 10 min in) a truly helpful employee showed-up. She was also had no briefing regarding my issue and my arrival, but she got up to speed and, after doing some digging, determined that they did not have any more mirrors for me (black power fold-away for 84-96 XJ). My phone contact had told me they had one, but Girl #3 informed me that what had been set out was a 97-01 mirror and a manual 84-96 mirror. Evidently my contact had a hard time understanding how to use part numbers. Girl #3 then gave me some options. I chose to have her order me a pair of mirrors directly from Crown who, according to her, are more reliable about matching parts properly than Omix (the mirrors I originally received).
Girl #3 was great. She was knowledgeable, communicated well, treated me with respect, and was very motivated. Girl #2 was unremarkable, Girl #1 didn't do the company any favors by getting involved with me--she was naive, complained, nervous, annoying, and forced herself into business that had nothing to do with her--and if the accusation that Guy-in-the-back is really that irritable/mean is true, then he failed the company today as well--the accusation itself is a nail in the coffin; employees saying something like that to a customer does not make a positive impression. The packaging/shipping room is all I got a good look at, and while the employees were getting their work done well enough, it was pretty disorderly; a little more organization in that area would help them methinks.
My phone contact never did show up while I was there.

Thanks folks,
The glass I purchased came with really nice moldings for rear quarters.
I was dealing with a yard quite far from me, Have dealt with them in the past.
So when they said they would be in my area and I could hook up and just pay the driver I was into that... Didn't know for sure what I'd end up with.
Turned out good!
If we could get some better weather here in Michigan I could finish.
Thanks for the support!

I think the Bleepin jeep site had a recent video on XJ glass replacements and how to deal with the moulding lips at removal and install.
