Re: Grrr.... I'm an idiot!
Thats the funny part, I actually keep a spare ignition key in my CJ-7, in
the soft top door. But not on my Cherokee. I was able to find a used replacement window on my luch break (after calling every salvage place in town). Only cost $32.50. I got off easy! Lowest quote on a new one was $182.

Re: Grrr.... I'm an idiot!
If you have a couple of screwdrivers handy, you can pry the window out
without destroying it. But, it sounds like I am a few hours late on offering this helpful advice.

Re: Grrr.... I'm an idiot!
The wind wing style window of the front or rear door? And I'll send
you some instructions. I wire an outside key to something underneath the front bumper for over forty years, haven't had to use it yet. It's like the part you've once broken, caring a spare and it never breaks again.

I do the same, wire or screw a spare key underneath and forget about it. No zip ties either, been there done that.
