I have a 97 2 door XJ and would like to have quarter windows that vent. I have never seen a 97+ with vented rear quarter windows and wonder does anyone know if they where ever available.

If not does anyone know if the pre-97 vented quarter windows would fit. I can get a pair of them in good shape if they will fit.

I'm pretty sure I've never seen a 97+ with them. They don't really do much btw, I wouldn't put a lot of effort into it.

+1..I have 'em on my 89' XJ and they're pretty much worthless.

when they redesigned the doors for 97 they went to a full piece of glass. You don't have the room for the vetn windows unless you go back to the 96- glass in the door.
I suppose you could swap the whole door out, and deal with the latch. It's been done to go the opposite way.

Sounds like it may be more trouble than its worth. Thanks for the replies.
