Remove the interior trim around the window, remove the nuts that hold the window assembly in place. Window assembly come out toward the back of the truck, be sure you have a roll of butyl handy to reseal.
Might be easier just to tape and mask.

took it through the auto carwash the other day to remove the massive amounts of mud(ima bad boy) and everytime it sprayed the to of the truck it would start leaking inside.

many of the windows have a flaw in the seal at the top, drivers side, about a foot from the corner. as mentioned, take the head liner loose and back wall off and take the nuts off the studs. push window backward into bed and have your buddy catch it. you can get a new seal for $10 at Auto Zone... there are two rows of studs and nuts on the back wall, one row for the window, one row for the trim.
