I first replaced with an after-market... Then new from my local Chrysler-dealership. They still "pop". Help?
I had the same issue. Turns out it was caused by the sliding mechanism slipping off its rail inside the door. My solution was to remove the pin and the two bolts that hold the assembly in place, remove it from the inside after pulling the door card off and then re-aligning the spring/guide into proper position. It will be pretty obvious when you remove it from the door.

I think the pop is at the pin on the jamb side.
Most of our XJ's are over 20 years old. The doorchecks do fatigue and fall apart. Replacing them is the easiest solution. You can pick up the front door ones from Rock Auto. I haven't been able to find a source for the rears, as the arms appear to be about an inch shorter than the fronts.
To replace the doorchecks, just remove the door panel, and the speaker. You can fish out the old one from there, install the new one in reverse order...
