Glue in side windows to replace rubber seal

Wondering if it is possible to install glue in windows and trim from an 84 in to an 85 with the rubber seal windows. The rubber seals on mine are getting pretty rotten and warped and I have a parts truck. Would be nice to know before I start tearing them apart.

If I remember right the outer lip/trim of the glue in windows isn't as big as the one on the rubber molding style so if your truck has been repainted at some point there will be a noticeable paint difference around the outside edge.

My Bronco II is an 84 but it was built late in the year and seems to have some 85 parts on it.One of my glue in windows got broken so I replaced it with a rubber seal kind, so physically you should be able to do it the other way around.

Where are you guys finding the rubber seal kit? I wasn't able to pinpoint it at JBG.

I just replaced the whole window and seal on mine with one from a wrecker.
