Brief explanation: I decided to remove the back window from my old Ford Ranger and use it in the one I bought because the new one had a broken window, and because I didn’t want to have to replace any stickers I had made or ordered.

Tools needed:

• 3 or 4 flat head screw drivers
• 1 Phillips screwdriver
• 1 Hammer

Before:

Steps:

1. First remove inner plastic panels with Phillps screwdriver first above door then above rear window then can take sides off i just tucked sides behind seat so I didn’t need to remove seat belts.

2. Then after plastic panels are removed take a small flat head screwdriver place between inner wall and rubber seal and pry down then shove up in between outer wall and seal you can use hammer to help get the driver shoved.

3. Once your there use a larger screwdriver strong enough to pry with and shove it up beside small driver. and pry a little just enough to put a third driver further down.

4. Keep working your way down using two drivers about 6 to 8 inches apart priing little at a time when you get to the middle you should start to see day light and have the first part of the seal outside the truck.

5. Once you’ve made your way down to the end with the drivers you should be able to push out on the window to release the top half you may need a friend to help catch widow from falling out. I had a roll bar to stop it.

6. Once outside the truck, climb into the bed and pull up on window to release the bottom seal.

7. Then pull out and you’re done.
