How to Fix a Worn Sliding Rear Window on a Jeep Grand Wagoneer

In this video, I repair a power sliding rear window on a 1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. The window would go up fairly consistently but sometimes it would jam and get crooked when lowering. Upon further investigation, the regulator has small pins on the end of its arms that were very worn. Also, the track at the bottom of the window and several of the seals were worn out as well. Luckily, BJ's Off-Road has all the parts required to get the window fixed. The parts from BJ's were very nice and I found them to be very good to work with. They look out for their customers which isn't a given from aftermarket parts suppliers.

Great Video , I just grease the gears on mine and it always works great. But It Blows a fuse at the most awkward times like at the grocery store in a downpour rain storm 😂 mine is a 75 and the glass fuses are always fun.🤣Thanks for the Knowledge.

[@605BOLT]

Haha. Never a good time for that! Appreciate the kind words.

Great video and well done on the install! I finally finished rebuilding the tailgate internals on my 91 a few weeks ago. Got it working perfectly with both switches. I noticed on the glass lifter channel on mine is installed opposite to yours (I followed the factory orientation when I did mine). I'm not sure if it makes a difference?

[@605BOLT]

Could be we goofed and put it in backwards. I'll have to check that out next time!!

[@v_h2o330]

Great video, thanks for creating. Question (if you can recall) - Do you think it would be possible to replace those 2 inside tracks with out fully removing the window? Mine are crunchy as well and I believe that is what is causing my glass to get stuck.

[@605BOLT]

Possibly with the window all the way up or down. I don't recall a reason specifically why you couldn't. Removing the window isn't bad either of you get in a pinch.

@@605BOLT Thank you.

My pleasure.

I’ve been researching how to troubleshoot and repair the rear tailgate and window issues on my 77 Cherokee 4 door. It’s a manual window crank and the crank is either stuck or just turns without engagement. So, the window is currently stuck in the up position. What’s the best approach to get the window down so I can at least open the tailgate? Thanks for any tips. This is all new to me. 😬

[@605BOLT]

Ugh that's going to be a pain. I would try to get cover off the inside of the tailgate and try disassembling as much as you can from the inside until it finally lets go. I'm pretty sure you can get that all off and dig around in there. That's what I would do but I don't have any experience in a scenario like that.

[@adamhamilton8104]

The washer and spring for the back window retraction, what would that exactly be called and where could you find it?

[@605BOLT]

This is what I used. If you call these guys, do me a favor and mention you saw this video. They're great about parts. bjsoffroad.com/tailgate-window-lift-pins-upgraded-clip-design/

[@605BOLT]

Pretty much. Sometimes it's just the pins and the end tracks. But ya, this one was wore out.
