Awesome detailed video. I have to replace the seal in my rear window and this video is a huge help. Thanks for taking the time to make it so detailed.
I have a 2000 Rord Ranger 4X4 XLT that I gave $760 for and it has the solid back glass. I went to a local junkyard and bought a complete sliding back glass for about $50 . The junkyard truck had mostly all the trim removed. I removed the rear sliding glass in about 15 minutes. I could see by the junkyard truck, that rear glass would be time consuming to remove, if most of the trim pieces weren't removed. What I liked most was the glass frame was bolted in and when the glass was unbolted using a 9mm socket , gently pry and push to break the seal loose and push the frame outward toward the tailgate. There was a friend with me and I was on the inside pushing out gently but firmly and bot to bend the frame and my friend was on the outside to guide and pull the frame out . An extra set of hands is better for the actual removal of the frame and window . If I didn't have a friend to help , I'm sure I could have gotten the frame out without damaging it . I haven't installed the sliding window yet because I haven't had time and wasn't sure how to remove the trim pieces.
Thank you for posting this great , detailed video . I will use this video for reference on how to remove th trim pieces and remove the headliner and put it all back together.
HOLY CRAP. I'm looking to replace the rear glass on my '00 Ranger so I watched this whole thing and learned a lot before even starting on my own. But then with the "if you like this kind of stuff, then..." and you panned down a floorpan that I know VERY well, I let out an audible Oh Dang! ...So I'm subscribing. I have a '69 bug that I have already done a lot to. I likely will never pull the body, though I'm interested in following along in your process. Cheers!
That’s great to hear. Welcome!
I will be changing my 1999 rear glass soon. Thanks for the video, now I don't have to figure out how to get it out and back in.
1999 is different than the 2004 in this video, however you are in luck because the older models are much easier to replace. No need to remove the headliner. Just remove the trim around the window, pull the screws and pop out the old window.
I am actually getting ready to do my 99. Thank you sir. Your a real one 🫡
Wonderful, thank you for your time and detailed explanations, and I taken self-confidence to do it thanks to you ,I appreciated that Sir...
Do this when it's cold, lol I did it in 89 degree weather and man that butyl tape got everywhere😂
Lol good point!
Interesting, I just pulled out the rear window of my Ranger. I didn't bother pulling out the headliner or most of the trim. around the headliner. Pulled out some of the pins and used a wrench to back off the nuts. It worked like a charm. Once the truck is resprayed back everything will go into place. One more thing to note, they used a thin layer of butyl caulk as well. Don't get me started about the 3/4 windows. There was nothing but insane amounts of caulk holding those in place. Took me a good 2 hours to clean that mess up without solvents.
Curious about the year of your truck. Pre-2004 models were a lot easier to get the rear window out.
Thank you for sharing this information. My headliner is saggin from a leaking rear window.
Check the third break light as well and seal it. Allot of people think its the window when in reality its the 3rd upper top cab brake light
Thanks for that video I have to do same thing in my 04 ranger. Where did you get the sticky window adhesive seal at? Your right there's nothing on this procedure on youtube. Your patients is admirable
Thanks.
I got my seal at Napa. I believe it can be found on Amazon as well
Nice thorough video appreciate it dude
Excellent video! Attention to detail! Thanks!
Thanks. Hope it helped!
You just saved my ass dude thanks gonna go do this now
EXTREMELY WELL DETAILED 👍 ; don't worry about the length. Every second of YOUR vid was worth it , & without useless jibber jabbering ( done by some just to stretch the video to the supposedly "golden" 10minute+ mark )🙁
YOUR words had VALUE , & the camera views were mostly on-target. As far as i'm concerned , your QUALITY is in the TOP 3% 👏 🔧💪 .
( not trying to throw shade on 80%+ of the DIY vids out there , but MOST need more actual EDITing than they're given. It sure looks like you took some _extra_ time to make your work *WATCHABLE* , informative without fluff ) 🏆
Thank you
Greetings from Mexico thank you amigo 👍
Thank you, it helped me a lot
Perfect guide thank you very much my guy
Glad I could help!
Thank you for your help!
Thank you for your 'contribution'
FYI. Tighten to 2 N-m (0.2 kgf-m, 18-in-lbf)
Awesome! Thanks. Just did this on my 2010 to replace the roof skin. Clear and to the point.
Thanks. Glad it was helpful!
Havent watched the whole thing yet. But... wanna send me that broken one? haha. I need the driver side glass. Going to see if I can work some cheat codes
I totally would have sent it to you if I still had it. I filmed this well over a year ago and that rear glass is long gone. Sorry!
@@SouthpawWorkshop No worries! I have one that I am going to be working on soon. I just dont understand why you cant take the pane out and replace it. Guess I will find out when i finally get to trying.
I looked into it. The windows are made in a way that you can’t disassemble and reassemble the frame around the glass. There are some aftermarket “glue-in” solutions, but it doesn’t look factory or even very good in my opinion. Your best bet is to find a junkyard and get a rear window from a ranger there. Good luck!
@@SouthpawWorkshop Thats prolly exactly what I am going to do. However. I hate the idea of things not being repairable. lol. I am going to at least give it a shot and see what I can come up with. Granted. I am sure its going to end poorly for me. haha
@@dancando6391 Been a year hows that window looking ? My pass side is busted and looking to see what i can do about it, if I cant do nothing to replace just the one panel, going to get the whole thing from a junk
Hi! Does anybody know part number of that plastic latch? or maybe a link where i can buy it?
Every one of those trim grommets snapped/broke on me. Those things were in there! That was the hardest part fighting with those damn things.
Yeah same here. The older they get, the more prone they are to break. They seem a little too unnecessarily tight. You can buy spares on Amazon if needed
@@SouthpawWorkshop Thanks !
Do you have a link to the clips? The super long ones that were difficult to remove. @@SouthpawWorkshop
Check out this link and see if these are long enough for you: amzn.to/4cf3RlZ
would you recommend a 1/4 or 5/16 seal? I have heard a 3/8 seal is too big, but the 1/4 is sometimes too small. I got a leak Im trying to fix. Great video!
I can’t remember which one I bought. I wish I had mentioned it in the video. I think if you are worried about 1/4” being too small, then go wit the 5/16
Thanks for the video
Thanks man.
Thank you sir I broke my drive side today putting a bed on it and don't have much money typical teenager stuff but I have one question where do I get the plant sticker of where it was made ?
Do you know which plant? Here is a link to a guy who makes the Twin Cities stickers: prancingmoose.com/carstickers.html#ford
@@SouthpawWorkshop yea I found the link online last night thanks so much for the window repair info
Haha I got my dads old ranger and had the exact same thing happen with the fire wood only the driver side
Good to know I’m not the only one!
Fabulous 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My Ranger is 2000.
Where you buy the glass tape 3M or where i can buy
There is a link to buy in the video description. Thanks for watching!
How long did it take you to replace this in total
Hard to say since I was filming but it shouldn’t take the average person more than 2 hours to get the job done. Good luck!
Thank you!
Is this the same steps for a 1990?
I believe the older models are easier to replace. There has got to be a TH-cam video about it somewhere
You shouldn’t be careless at the salvage yard when remove the part you need. Damaging the part that’s in the way, makes it aggravating to the person looking for the part you destroyed. So, be thoughtful and respectful.
Stfu ,now we have junkyard police🙄🙄🙄
Nice sarcastic overreaction, @@bone-t-bone2184 This is the problem with many Americans.... only interested in themselves and not thoughtful of others.
Too many ads interrupting make this difficult to watch.
Thanks for the input. TH-cam decided to start running mid-roll ads automatically on all my videos without my permission. Now if I want my videos ad-free I have to go in and specifically tell them not to, when no ads used to be the default setting. I need to take some time and go through my video catalog and make sure they aren’t running ads in the middle of my other videos.
Or pay $18 a month and have 5 add free accounts for your family.....or $10 for a single one.
Well worth it.
