I am new here and would appreciate any advice you guys may have. I have a 86 f-150 with an 84 engine. I just through a chunk of fire wood through the back window. I have a 87 150 that I am going to rebuild and a 84 that I have for parts. I would rather not use a window out of the 87 but I can if I have to but I do not think it will fit. Will the 84 fit? If so how do you remove and istall said window. I do not have have a heated work area and I'm guessing the glass will be brittle. (I live in southern wisconsin) should I cover the window whith plastic and wait till spring to change it?
Thanks for any help.

 

Either window will fit. Just pry the rubber from the inside gently (starting in the middle at the top) until it stays under the lip of the cab. You'll only have to make your way to both sides and down about three inches on both sides and the window will lift straight out the top. To put it in, feed a small soft rope into the groove that fits over the lip on the cab. Start across the top, down both sides, and have the rope meet at the bottom and over lap a few inches. Fit the rubber into the groove on the bottom, and from the inside of the cab, slowly pull on the ends of the rope and and the rubber will pull over the lip. Take your time in the corners and soak the rope and the channel in the rubber in dish soap. Sounds hard, but I've put them in in 5 minutes. If you're worried about getting the old one out, cut the rubber and reuse the rubber from your broken window. Or just cut it out, take good rubber and window to glass shop and they should rope it in cheap.

 

Kingsandman, thank you for your detailed reply. I think I could do it myself in warm weather but your suggestion of bringing the glass into a shop after removing it may be the way I go.

Again thank you, Todd R
