Re: 93 Cherokee Sport Window Broken
 

There could be a spring clip between the crank and the panel. There is
a special tool for this, (see Bill's PDF file) or you can pop it out
with a screwdriver or a hook.

The gear inside the handle is the likely stripped point and the handles
are cheap to replace. You put the clip on the handle before installing
it and it just pushes into place with a snap.

Re: 93 Cherokee Sport Window Broken
 

The one I just replaced had a worn regulator - the geared part inside
was rusted. I drilled out the rivets holding the regulator mechanism
and replaced it with one from a wreck. Best part was, the donor
vehicle had the vent windows that actually OPENED so I replaced that
part of the window assembly at the same time <g>. To replace the
regulator, you ahve to pull the door panel. Thakes some time and
fiddling but it's a pretty straightforward deal.
