How to Remove Jeep Cherokee Side Windows

Removing the rear side windows on a Jeep Cherokee is very simple, but is much easier to do if you have a second person to help. The side window glass is not glued into the Jeep and removing it only requires that you remove the seals and the glass in one motion. You will need to work from the inside to push the glass out. The glass will be removed from the outside so having someone to catch it or steady it for you on the outside of the Jeep will make the job much easier.

Things You'll Need

  • Screwdrivers
  • Small pry bar
  • Remove the interior molding around the rear windows. You will need a screwdriver to remove the screws from the trim to expose the rubber window seal underneath.

  • Pry the rubber gasket down from the lip around the window with a straight screwdriver or small pry bar. Be careful not to pry on the glass or you will chip it or break it.

  • Apply light but even pressure to the edge of the glass while working the gasket down along the edge. Continue around the edge of the glass until it becomes free enough to slide out of the window opening.

  • Remove the glass from the opening on the outside of the Jeep and set it aside where it isn't going to get broken. Gently pull the rubber gasket the rest of the way out of the window opening.
