Extended cab side glass replacement

I have to replace my side glass on my 1993 f150 in the rear seat due to my sons golf slice. Can the glass be replaced easily by myself or do I have to take it to a glass prof.? Their cost is $450.00. I can get the glass for $20.00 at the local Ford salvage yard. He said this unit is bolted in?? Anyone have directions on getting old window out and putting new in?
Thanks

its not hard , you need to remove the 1/4 trim and unbolt whats left of the old window . you need to get new sealer , its a rope style urathane strip . just make sure you clean off all the old sealer .

$450 for the side window...seriously? That sounds WAY HIGH. Maybe the new glass is a lot more than I thought. As jk89cat said, it's a really easy fix. Do it yourself.

Wow...I've always gotten replacement glass from a junkyard. I guess I'll keep going there for future needs.
