I got a 94 XJ with pivoting vent windows , they are so annoying because of the noise and dirt that came in even when I was doing 50, I couldnt have a decent conversation or listen to my stereo.
I went to our local scrap yard and bought a set of fixed vent window assembly (vent window + inner pillar + the weather strip) which were standard late 94
YOU NEED:
- Vent window assembly
- Philips screwdriver
- T15 Star screwdriver
NB: this conversion will work for deletion of pivoting vents or vice vers ca
Step 1
Clean the assembly + tint windows
Step 2
1- 3 screws holding the controls + metal handle
2- remove the plastic trim by pushing it horizontally to the outside
3- Remove the plastic handle 2 screws
4- Pull off the trim
Step 3
remove 3 bolts holding the assembly ( 2 PHILIPS screws upper + 1 Star screw lower)
Step 4
-Roll down the windows
-Open the pivot vent windows to get a decent grip of the assembly
-PULL horizontally to the outside then UPWARDS by pulling away the pillar from the top
Step 5
Slide in the new assembly making sure that the main window slides in the grove of the pillar.
attach back the 3 bolts
Step 6
attach the trim back
Impression:
1- I can feel a huge difference specially in headwind dont need to trun up the stereo even at 90 mph
2- Fixed windows are slightly larger giving a better view of the side mirrors
