84-01 but the later years have a one piece molded trim seal vs the earlier clip on moldings.

It looks like 96-97.

I think the molding changed in 94 or 95. The 93 has the old and the 95 has the new.

You can use the new style rubber moulding on an older XJ to eliminate the wind noise from the aluminum trim. I had the new style put on my '87 the last time I had my windshield replaced. All I had to do was grind off the tabs that hold the trim and the glass guy took it from there. It is much quieter and doesn't leak, so I don't see a downside.

My '94 has the rubber seal w/out chrome trim

I also had the rubber molding put on my 87 XJ. It was easy. Just grind off the clips for the old chrome molding. Heck, the glass store even did it for me at no extra charge. It will work, and it looks and seals great.........

so i guess this works the other way as well? an older windshield will fit in a 97+ after getting rid of the aforementioned clips?

The clips are attached to the vehicle, so nothing to remove on the recipient.
