Default door glass replacement

Hey, guys.
Got a '90 Laredo and was wondering if anyone knows how to go about replacing door glass? I put Google through the wringer and couldn't find anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Once you get the wing window out it will be pretty easy. Just take your time and make sure you remove all of the hidden screws under the weather strip. It's more typing than I want to do to explain the whole job. Good luck.

Cool beans. Thanks much for the thread link. Soapy water--good to know I don't have to completely dismantle the door outside of removing the panel. I will look at removing the wing for that extra work space too.
Thanks again.

Well, taking into consideration that the window needs replacing and the driver door is kicked in beyond repair, I found a pair of complete front doors on Craigslist for $100.
However, they are from an '89 XJ. I think it's safe to assume they will fit on my '90? They are manual lock/crank like mine.
Any input?

Should fit ok. Don't forget to change the lock cylinder.

Cool. I guess I can make me a pair of half doors with the old ones :-)
