Whether it＊s due to an accident, a rogue baseball, or just age, there comes a time when the glass window of your vehicle may need replacement. If you own a 2016 Ford F150 Extended Cab and the factory glass window on the driver's door needs replacing, you're in the right spot. This process may seem daunting at first, but with the right knowledge and tools, you can save yourself from a hefty garage bill.

Let＊s delve into the step-by-step guide of replacing your driver door factory glass window.

Gathering Your Tools

First things first, gather your tools. A proper job requires the right tools. You will need:

Flathead and Philips Screwdriver

Door panel removal tool

Glass suction cup tool

A new factory glass window (for Ford F-150 2016 extended cab)

Preparing the Door

Start by rolling down the window halfway if possible. If the window is completely broken, carefully remove the fragments while wearing safety gloves to prevent injury. Disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure your safety while working on the door.

Removing the Door Panel

Use the screwdriver to remove screws securing the door panel. Some screws might be hidden underneath plastic tabs or inside the pocket behind the door handle, be sure to check carefully. With all screws removed, unclip the panel with a door panel removal tool. This will reveal the door's interior.

Removing the Window

Now, you should spot the window regulator - this is what holds the glass in place. Using your flathead screwdriver, unbolt the window from the regulator. Use a glass suction cup tool to hold the window and safely lift it out from the door.

Installing New Window

Now that the old glass is removed, it's time to add the new one. Lower the replacement glass into the door using the glass suction cup tool. Align it with the window regulator, making sure it fits perfectly. Once aligned, bolt the window back to the regulator.

Reattaching the Door Panel

With the new glass securely in place, it's time to reattach the door panel. Clip the panel back into its place and secure it using the screws. Remember to reconnect any wires that you may have disconnected while removing the panel.

Once door panel reinstallation is complete, reconnect the battery terminal and give your new window a test. Roll it up and down a few times to ensure it's working properly.

And there you have it! Armed with this knowledge, you can now replace the driver door factory glass window on your 2016 Ford F150 extended cab. Don't be intimidated by the process; taking it slowly and methodically can make it a lot easier.

Remember, should you encounter any difficulties, there's no harm in seeking help. But don't let that deter you! With a bit of patience and determination, you're more than capable of taking up this task. Happy Fixing!
