broken rear window

I have a 78 F150 with a sliding rear window. One of the sliding panels is broken. I am wondering if there is a way to remove just that panel without removing the frame and rubber seal from the truck. Thanks for any advice.

You might be better off replacing the whole window. I have a 79 with a rear slider and the felt strip that the windows slide on is gone and i have tried to find a replacement felt with no luck.Everyone i have talked to from parts houses to specialty shops say the same thing they can't find parts just the whole window.:-X23

I had the same problem on a pickup several years ago. I ended up using a piece of plexiglas. It will felx enough to fit in without removing the frame.

Hey my 78 F-150 had the same problem, after two months of haveing a pizza box duck taped there i got a picece of plexiglass and cut it to fit and then it just popped in, it was flexable enough to fit in. it works great and its a lot better then trying to replace the whoe rear window.

Hmmm.... I guess that would explain why the other panel is plexiglass. Thanks for the input. I will keep my eyes open for a new window but untill then plexiglass it is.
