I've spent about a half hour Searching here, looking for TWO Door XJ '97+ @ jy, and tried Stealership for info .... No luck
My HOPE is to retrofit some later VENTLESS door glass into my '96. I was trying to find out how the guts of the '97+ doors differ from my '96. My door glass has ONE mounting hole to Regulator, and it appears that '97+ have TWO, which suggests that there is an additional [Track / Guide] inside of door.
I prefer not to cut a 1.5" hole in jamb to properly mount the '97+ Striker, and the other swaps that I've read about have been even less .... thorough.
If I can find out how the door internals differ, I can focus on sourcing the pieces to do the conversion to [My] standards. Could ANYONE shed any light on how '96- door internals differ from '97+, Please ? We are not supposed to Request Pics in this Forum, so feel free to PM or email any insights that you might have.
I have a source for New glass w/o Vent. The Window Channel felt is also available. The difference in Regulators / Tracks will be the hurdle, so if I just knew what to look for ... perhaps even tweak a Four Door assembly to add to my Two Door. Later '97+ Four Door XJs are Plentiful in JYs around here. Two Doors are Unicorns.
Thanks very much !
