Thanks for sharing, I did this on a Cherokee and the plastic was so brittle that it held for few days. Good enough till I got a proper replacement. But that steiger performance kit is the best imo. |

Been there, done that, plus several other attempted kludges - results factored on state of nylon slide, whereby it's usually already brittle and disintegrating - oem design hadta use the nylon compound because a steel slide would need constant renew-it\refresh-it lubrication, much like an electric motor with sleeve bushings - anyone ever pulled out an older mechanism and seen the hardened lumps of paste, where the petroleum base had evaporated and left the fiber, would easily understand that scenario |

Can't see that repair lasting too long but the good news is that you can pick up a kit to do all 4 for around $75. http://www.autoandart.com/02-06-jeep-li ... epair-kit/ |

Use the Steiger kit and be done with it. |

Yeah both my rear windows failed like that about 8 months apart. Ironic part is I'm a single guy and no one regularly rides in the back, the windows are very rarely down. when the first one dropped it was when I closed the door after putting an item on the back seat, second one when I hit the switch for rear passenger window when I wanted to lower the front. Both fronts have yet to fail and are up and down all the time. I used the Steiger kit on both rear windows. It works great the first time it did take me a while and I had some trouble with broken plastic bits stuck in the end of the spiral cable tube. |

When the driver's side rear window fell in my recently-acquired '06 Liberty, I picked up one of the 4-piece Steiger-style kits from autoandart.com (I figure all four windows will need it at some point). But when I got into the rear doors, I found that one of the POs had installed aftermarket regulator & motor assemblies, dang it. After some digging, I found the source, and wrote up a "review" of sorts, FWIW. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f28/can- ... r-3350977/ |
