It's not hard at all really. But I do recommend a helper to hold the glass and seal in place as you work.
The string method is my favorite.
All you need is a good quality string to go around the window weatherstrip, some weatherstrip sealant, and some lubricant like silicone lubricant, or very soapy water.
Set the weatherstrip around the window, put the string in the channel.
Set the window and seal on the bottom lip of the cab.
Have a friend hold the window in place outside while you are in the cab pulling the string, making the rubber of the seal go around the lip.
Lubricating the seal and metal lip as you pull the string makes this job easier.
Optional, but I recommend it.... After you got the window in, use the weatherstrip sealant on the outside of the cab, where the roof of the cab and the B pillar meet. You will see the seam in the cab. Lift up the corner of the weatherstrip, and put a small amount around the inside lip between the seal and cab, about 2" in each direction of the seam, on both sides. This will help prevent water from getting under the weatherstrip at these seams. Remove and clean excess sealant from the paint, etc...
If you are not saving the original weatherstrip seal, then you can cut the window out with a exacto knife.
Hope this helps.
