How to Install a Window in a 2003 Dodge Caravan

Like most other vehicles, the 2003 Dodge Caravan has windows equipped on all of the doors. If a window is broken or cracked, whether through an accident or because of theft, you will need to replace your window to prevent any damage to the interior of your vehicle that could potentially be caused by the weather. Replacing the windows on your Caravan is actually a fairly simple procedure that should not take you more than thirty minutes to complete.
