Is the window glass on a JK flat in both directions? Just looking for some donor Jeep parts if I can for the electric windows and door locks etc.

Unfortunately my plans to use the WH parts wont work as too big to fit the slim Willys doors. :(

Might even look into picking up a couple of 97+ XJ doors and use the parts of that if they fit. Would be a lot cheaper I think and maybe better proportioned in handle size?

In the 07 JK glass has a (very) slight curve, maybe 2 mm max front to back. Top to bottom seems flat.

I would have thought that your door would be wider than the JK so the glass may be too narrow anyway. Custom glass time?

XJ Door handles would look better IMHO

Not to use the glass but the electric window motor and guides etc. I agree on the handles as been trying out a spare set of solid metal chrome XJ ones I have and the proportions are better.

Not much to show as been busy going through all the saved panels from the donors to sell what I can and scrap the rest to get some much needed room and money.

This is what was left that was not worth selling of the leftover chassis and body parts from the three donors now that the cab is finished. 360kg/800lbs to the scrap metal place. Got a whole $36!

Can see why I threw this door out as was the one that took the brunt of the Harley Davidson at 100 mph!

Still managed to save the latch, electric window and wiring from it to sell

Setting the final gaps on the door now that everything is welded in. Top is leaning out a bit but flush everywhere else.

Other side is leaning out only at the top as well.

Tried forcing the top of the door inwards but would then kick out the diagonally opposite corner out and alter the gaps already set. So just cut part of the way in with a thin disc and could pull over by hand and reweld.

Both sides are nice a flush now all the way around.

I wanted to close this gap up more across the top when I chopped the window frames, but couldn't as would loose the correct gap in the inside of the frame. All the ones I have looked at are like this from the factory.

Had no welding rod to weld to the top but by the time you weld both sides of that you might as well tack along the top in one go like this.

I flush grind/sand the sides and then fit the door back up leaving the top untouched at this stage. Ran a marker along the top and then scribed a line under some 1/8" flat to set the cut line.

Gaps the same now all the way around. Back corner look tight in this shot but not when measured.

This door the front edge closed up when it was made flush. This was fixed simply by placing a block of timber on the front edge with the door open and hitting it with a mallet. That corrected the gap at the back of the door again as well to what it was before. Some filing and re welding was also needed.

This door now done too. Shadow makes the top gap look bigger though.

Awesome Markus. Im Lovin it.

I was hoping to use the WH door locks, handles and central locking but they wont fit! I had already bought some quality chrome covers from the US as well for the handles.

Selling the covers at a loss: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/302370193...84.m1555.l2649

Decided to run XJ chrome handles I have instead but would like some key locks with keys and a L/R pair of central locking door solenoids with wiring pigtails. If anyone is wreaking a pre 97 XJ where the solenoids are still separate, I would like to buy some and the key locks with keys.

Cheers

I'll see if I still have the lock set, I pilfered from my blue XJ. Keys included. Yours if I find 'em.
I don't have solenoids though....
