I had planned to stop by a local pull-a-part today after work to get a drivers door glass for my 2001 s-crew. I will take my small work tool bag because I know how easy it is to remove the door panel, and had assumed that the glass would be attached to the regulator with a small fastener. However, I now read that some are riveted in, or at least the channel is reveted in that I'll have to move to remove the glass.

Can anyone tell me if I'll be able to remove the door glass with hand tools, or if I need to have a cordless drill on hand to deal with rivets? I don't want to drive there and not be prepared, and I don't have a drill at work.

Thanks,

 

According to this video...

the window glass is attached to the regulator using two 11mm nuts.

 

Yes- the channels that the glass slide into are mounted by 2 nuts. IMO I would take the channels too that way you may not need to mess around with glue or anything.

Good luck

 

Yep. I just left the channels attached. It was a very easy R&R, the part I picked was a factory Ford glass so the color is perfect.
