window removal
Working on my 49 f1 and I cracked the drivers side window. Ordered a new one actually two just in case. Anyone willing to enlighten me on the correct procedure of removing the glass ? I only have two chances or else I'm reordering. That's how you get experience right ? Thanks !

I replaced the felts around and under the window on my 49 F1. I found you have take the regulator and divider bar out. There is a top screw at the top of divider bar to take out. Take your time and it will go. Hope this helped

I have the new glass from lmc so it is the original style. I noticed the window when rolled down comes off the track slightly so maybe adjusted is needed before replacing the glass. If there is adjustment, I guess I'll find out. The bar for the door handle seems to be bent and I cannot lock the drivers door . Which is my next project putting in a lock on the passenger side, the hole is there with a plug so I assume this will be possible. Good thing I have it in the garage , I have a feeling this is going to take awhile !

Yes, that is known as the division bar. I think you need to buy the shop manual. You'll find how to do all sorts of things.

Yella, I agree with Abe you could find a lot of learning material in the factory shop manual. There's a repair procedure for just about every part of your truck in there. It's available in paper and CD formats. Here's a link to one of many available sellers.

As a point of clarification, the division bar is the vertical divider between the vent window and the door glass in the window opening of the door.. The horizontal part I believe you referred to is the lift channel at the bottom of the glass, which attaches to the regulator.
