I had my window glass replaced by NOVUS, in and out within 30 minutes.

Didn't know about NOVUS. I checked, and they are on the other side of the bay. Probably a 2-hour drive for me.

Looking forward to having glass tomorrow...

I used Safelite to replace my windshield last year and when my front driver door window cracked I called them and they were 1 week out, Novus had a window Glass in stock and cheaper.

My original plan was to order Glass from White Bear Autonation, but they wouldn't ship a glass panel and the local dealer was significantly more than ordering thru fordparts.com.

At the end of the day I am happy, just need to get that one glass panel retinted to match the others now.

I'm hoping that the replacement glass comes pre-tinted.

Glass was replaced yesterday. The whole thing took a little over an hour; maybe 70-75 minutes from drop off to finish. It looks good, and I feel like I have a whole truck again.
