The side window on your Ford F-150 can be expensive to replace, although replacing the side window on your truck is an easier job than replacing the passenger windows. In order to reduce your costs, you can carry out the replacement work yourself. You can order a replacement side window for your truck from your local parts store. The entire job will take you around an hour to complete correctly.
