You may need to drill out some rivets, but other than that it is fairy straight forward, remove bracketry from the broken window, clean up all the glass, and install new window. The rivets come into play if you need to remove the regulator or motor. I had to remove the motor on the donor truck because i had no way to power it, but if you buy the glass already pulled you shouldnt have to pull the motor on your truck. The only difficult part is getting the glass into the track.
