How do you remove the driver side window on a 1998 Ford F-150?

Answer 1

If your window is manual, remove the crank handle. If electric, carefully remove the switch panel and disconnect the electrical connector(s). Remove the interior trim panel, and then carefully remove the plastic insulation sheet from the door.

Look through the holes in the door sheet metal. At the bottom of the window glass, you should see the metal support for the glass. There will be two large hex-head bolts threaded into either yellow or orange plastic that hold the glass to its support brackett. Using the normal window controls, move the window up or down until the bolts line up with appropriate access holes in the sheet metal, and then unscrew them with a 5/8" socket and extension (you shouldn't have to use a ratchet, as the bolts aren't that tight.) When the bolts are removed, remove the plastic inserts that go through the matching holes in the glass. I recommend using a long pair of hemostats for this. Also, you may have to work your hand around behind the glass to push the inserts out. After they are removed, you should be able to lift the glass out of the door.

Installation is the reverse.
