Question:

i need to know where i can get a plastic window bushing for 1998 grand jeep cherokee? motor and regulator wrks

rail that holds window fell, i took apart and see thta two lil plastic white bushings was broken. but cant seem to find it online or at parts store... there really aint many junk yards around here. do i really have to buy a whole door kit to get this fixed????

Answer:

you can order the parts separate from a dealer,that's the best place to get those at,they don't cost but a few bucks,and are well worth it,good luck.
SUPER GLUE!!! Nah, I'm just kidding. I am fixing to go MacGyver on you though. So you'll need a ball point pen, some Velcro strips, and four washers. If all else fails, if you can't get the specific parts from the dealer ( sometimes they sell them, sometimes they don't), if you can't find a junk yard, or for whatever reason. Take your window out, take apart the pen, cut it to fit through holes in the window, cut some square pieces of the soft Velcro to fit behind the washers(cushion), use some adhesive( a dab of rtv or something) to hold them in place and rivet. I've used this ancient art of the Mexican ways for generations... I now pass this on to you Grass Hopper!! If this doesn't work, get a paper clip, a piece of gum, and a pocket knife, and blow it up... LOL. But seriously give it a try if all else fails. You might end up having to use a combination of different things, but you get the idea.
Either a Jeep dealer or a Salvage yard, and there are salvage yards on-line where you can e-mail asking if they have what you need. One other possibility might be to go to a good hardware store and try to match up the jeep bushing to a generic one. I only suggest this because my local hardware store has this section with dozens of little drawers full of nylon, plastic and brass bushings of every description. I've saved a ton of money doing this sort of thing, spend $2.00 at the Ace Store vs God only knows at the dealer. Good luck.
