Answer
Hi Keith

     
  Jeep Cherokee quarters from mid 80's to 2001 are not that hard to do. The hardest thing is making sure to get (ALL) the broken glass out of your rubber with a hook tool or cotter pin puller as most Mechanics call them,  then its only a matter of stretching the rubber over the new glass and inserting a short rope into the groove on the rubber that is the closest one to the inside of truck with the same hook tool or rounded flat screw driver. Spray some glass cleaner or anything that will eventually dry and not melt the rubber in time on pinchweld and rubber. Now set the whole thing in place. Then have someone hold it in place from outside. Then from the inside starting from the bottom center, pull one end of rope strait up to roof until the rope gets to the bottom corner then pull the other end to the opposite corner until you get the whole bottom in. Then pull the rope to the back or front of truck for the sides and then strait down for the top. all the while the person on the outside is tapping or patting it behind where you have already pulled until she sets all the way in. Why pull up and not it?  Because pulling rope in will put too much strain on the rubber and it could tare! If your having trouble with the corners pull up or down in a circular motion  bending rubber into reveal trim as you go and your Done!

The whole time I am writing this I am thinking to myself Lord, I hope he Doesn't really mean the Rear Vent Glass LOL. You can do this one! Let me know how it worked out. Stay safe!  Derek :}
