Danny G Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 Metal thresholds were standard. The "bar" is surely the jack handle and it attaches to two spring clips. The handle goes on the driver's side down by the headlight. And that reminds me - I've not added that to Big Blue! Oh yes, I forgot. IIRC, the rear window comes out by pulling the center, lock piece, from the rear and pushing it in. That is an insert into the weatherstripping and pushes it out so it stays in place. Huh I thought plastic would have been default. Ok I thought that bar was for the jack just made me scratch my head because of the tire iron. I am not following on the window removal. I am going to swing by harbor freight to see if they have the trim tool for the front windshield... Also something I don't fully know how to do... And some suction handles before I head back over today. Here's a picture of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a snippet of the instructions are shown below. But, that doesn't fit with what I remember. On some of them there's an insert in the middle of the weatherstrip on the outside, some of which are black and some are chrome, and I was thinking that insert locks the weatherstrip into place and has to be removed first. Which confuses me as Big Blue is an '85 and I saw that insert the other day. And those instructions are from the 1985 factory shop manual and they don't mention that insert.

Gary, Those instructions are for removing the sliding glass panels from the rear window itself, correct? Removing the whole sliding rear window from the cab is a snap. I've done a couple of them now, and they just pop right out with a couple trim removal tools. A little bit of spray lubricant helps, like windex or spray-9, etc. I've started in the upper left corner and then worked towards the middle. By the time you're half way across you can usually pull the whole thing out of the cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last one I did I just ran my knife along the inside, removing the weatherstripping lip. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1986F150Six Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I want to grab the sliding window. Latch is broken but should be replaceable. Other than suction grips... What do I need to do this? Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
