So far as I can tell age. My 90' XJ has working ones, my 95 does not. Their senseless, because if they ever break, it's the single-most hardest piece of glass to find.

My 88 Laredo XJ had them and now my 96 SE XJ don't. Maybe it was only offered on certain trim levels.

That was my first thought, but still doesn't make sense. Destination XJ has a 91' Limited with them, but my 90' Larado has them too, and my 95' Sport doesn't.

Its an opition, or at least what I can tell from the all the different xjs I see at the junkyards and my buddies, my 90 has the fixed window while my buddies 92 has the vent window. I kind of wish mine opened but then again at least I don't have leaks and they are an easy way to get your rig broken into.

My '91 has working ones. And I love them, But then I also grew up when all cars had them. If you want ventilation, flip them around back wards. It's like a wind tunnel. And extremely handy if you smoke!

My 93, 89 & 88 has them.... I didn't even know they had them non-functioning. I just assumed all older body styled XJ's had them.... hmmmm learn something new everyday.

Its a year & a trim package thing. Vent windows are awesome! I wouldn't worry bout someone breaking in your wing windows when a thief can have your back glass out of your hatch in less than 2minutes, simply by pulling your lacing & lifting it out. 2minutes tops!
