Hello folks, Had an unexpected problem. Driver side rear window became unglued at the hinge. Had no idea this happened. Had a funny rattle while driving at slow speeds around town, pulled into a parking lot to see what was loose. Thought the side window was half closed, decided to open and close again. Glass immediately fell to the ground and broke into little pieces. Used gloves and a snow brush I had left in the truck to put the pieces into a part box I've been meaning to throw out (it had the old radiator fan clutch). I've seen some u-tube video on replacing the window on a Excursion (nothing with this body style Expedition). It looks like the whole assembly must be replaced. Looked at RockAuto and Amazon, no luck there. Please let this be a third party replacement part and not a dealer only thing. As an assembly I'm going to be charged a small fortune if it is from the dealer. This type of part is going to be destroyed if I try to get a salvage yard part, It does not look easy to remove. Kind of rip the thing out, clean and carefully put the new one in. Also - any other landmines I should look out for while replacing? Any help would be appreciated in locating a reasonably priced replacement part.
