The windows in my 95 JGC don't work either. This vehicle isn't my daily driver so I haven't fixed it yet but here are my thoughts and what I intend to do.

Since they've been slow and jerky for quite some time now I suspect that the track and the guides inside the door panels have gotten dirty, dry, or have some broken nylon kind of rollers etc. Of course the first thing I'll do is check the fuse box. The power windows are controlled by a 30 amp circuit breaker in the fuse box on the far right side of the dash, accessible only by opening the passenger door. Look for #26. If the circuit breaker is thrown you can reset it but this probably won't take care of the real issue. I would start with the drivers side door when looking for a worn out window channel set since that window is probably the one that has been used the most.

Removing the inner door trim panel is a big pain but it can be done. First you have to remove the inner door handle/armrest which is pretty straight forward (screws) and then with either the special tool or a putty knife you have to gently pry the panel off the metal frame. Expect the nylon clips to break due to their age so you'll have to buy some new replacements. Once you get the panel loose you'll need to unhook the wiring harness for the window and door lock controls on the inside of the door.

At this point you'll have to carefully peel the plastic wind/noise guard off the inside of the door. If you do it carefully you'll be able to put it back with some kind of sealant. If you rip it off you'll end up being sorry because the door will make all kinds of wind noise and there will be a draft that will make you crazy. With that done you can then inspect the window races and runners to determine what parts you need to replace and at that point, if you think you're going to keep the Jeep, you might as well replace all of the nylon bushings and rollers. You'll also want to check with your parts dealer and get the proper lubncant.

Reverse the take apart steps and be happy because you only have three more doors to do.
