The back Emblem....I looked at mine and mine is directly under the Wiper. His was about 2 1/2 or 3 Inches downwards of the Wiper...I don't know, it's hard to explain! I'll post a picture and you will notice it immediately. Funny thing is, I just noticed it looking at this strangers Cherokee, randomly!! Could anyone tell me if I'm just being a dumb? I notice every Cherokee I see now, the Jeep Emblem is like 2 Inches below were mine is. I also notice, that we bought it brand new...and it was STILL like that when we got it! Its been driving me insane!!
I can't seem to figure out why it's there! Even though EVERY SINGLE 1989-1996 Cherokee has their back Emblem Placement 2 or 3 Inches below were mine is. I know this was long...So now you can laugh at me and call me as nuts as Scrat from Ice Age. 
Anyways...Thanks for anyone's input!

If so I would have to say it was made on a Friday when the guy didn't care or Monday when he was hung over... Lol
