The vehicle: a 1999 F-250 XLT

I'm looking to find out how to replace the door windows in the truck. A
very dark tint was applied years ago and it looks like the film will be
a difficult removal. I think replacement may be the best option.

I would like to do this myself. Where can I find directions on how to
replace these power windows? Pointers to good quality glass vendors
appreciated as well.

so I may replace the windows instead.

It's not that difficult to remove film. Call a local window
tinting firm. They will remove the tint at a very low cost
or give you free instructions on removing it yourself.

The general method is to soften the film glue with heat
from a hair dryer while pulling the film off very slowly.
Some people use a solvent soak beforehand. Soap or
solvent cleanup of remaining glue is needed afterward.

For numerous tint removal methods visit: TintDude.com

Good luck.

Rodan.
