rear slider window installation
I have a 2003 F-150 short bed pickup and I want to install a rear slider window. I have replaced a windshield in the past and it was a nightmare, are rear windows easier to replace?

rear slider window installation
The slider is quite easy to install. You have to remove the trim around the inside of the window, pull down the headliner a bit and then there are about umm 10 or so nuts you have to remove. Then the window pushes out. It will be a pretty hard push as it's got sealer on it. Make sure you get new caulking sealer from the dealer when you get the window. Clean all the old stuff off and put the new sealer in the channel on the window frame and install it.
Plan on it probably taking a couple hours to do.

Thinking about it now the prices I quoted were for my 94 Ranger. So I expect the F-150 is a bit more. I just called "Campways" and am waiting for a quote right now. Based upon the above detailed description of removing/reinstalling the window I think I might try it myself.
The question would be where to put the motor? I expect the back panel(behind the rear seats) is a likely choice.
