got a quick question that might sound silly but, my '88 XJ Laredo's quarter draft windows use to open and my '96 quarter windows never did, can they be modified to open?

[nickyg]

My 96 didn't open. I picked up a pair that did for 5 bucks at a junk yard.. took about 10 min. each to install.

Yeah, you just need to pick up earlier versions. A bolt in mod

Cool, so i don't need to replace the doors, i think there are 1 or 2 at poly 4x4 here in Melbourne, they service only jeeps as well as wreck only jeeps
