03 F250 crew cab with a slider.

Tossed a chunk of firewood into it.

Its just the panel on the drivers side. The slider is
manual and has three sections.

Is this something I could do myself with regular tools
and know how?

Thanks for any help.

Yes you can...You need to remove the entire window assy. then take the rubber gasket/seal off to expose the small phillips head screws that hold the window frame together. The glass sections have a small gasket around them that fits into a groove in the frame. The hardest part of the job is finding a replacement glass piece. Most salvage yards won't sell individual pieces...I found a slider with a broken center glass and got the whole window for $10. Ford does not sell glass sections-only offered as a complete window!

 

Thanks

To remove the window I remove the large rubber seal on the
outside? Then remove the screws? Then remove the section
that needs replaced?

I "think" i am reading you right. Please forgive my ignorance.

 

Yes-the window needs to be removed from the truck from the inside.The rubber gasket is what holds it into the truck...You need to work from inside to pry the rubber towards the window to get it past the pinch weld.It usually helps to have a helper to apply pressure outward on the window as you work the rubber past the pinch weld.The screws are on the top of the window frame-they allow the top of the frame to separate from the aluminum uprights so the individual glass pieces can be removed.Start on the top when removing the assembly and when installing put the bottom in first.

 

Thank You, I'll give it a shot.

 

The window actually is removed from the outside.

It worked out very well.
