I need help with glass replacement on a 2002 XLS.

[AE8616V]

Hello to everyone here just bought a 2002 xls!!! Im really enjoying it already its really one of the better quality vehicles I have purchased in my life. It does have a few things wrong with it so im sure i will be on here alot asking some for advice from some experts seeing as this is the first time ive owned a ford even. this biggest problem I have that I need to fix as soon as possible is the divers side window is broken. This actually happened after i bought the car sitting right outside me own house which really sucks. Woke up in the mourning and found my window shattered and a bb gun pellet on my floor. Im pretty sure i dont know anyone that would really want to shot my window out so im guessing it was just some kids and i was just the unlucky victim like always ... really what i could use some help with right now is could i use the glass from an older explorer or will the rangers glass also work? Any ideas of anywere i could order it from for a decent price? And any tips on installing it would also be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance for any help

the glass is riveted in with 1/4 in rivits, probably cheaper to find a glass shop, that glass installed should be no more then around 100 used.

pretty much around how much you would spend on the tool and used glass.

Arggh thats what i wanted to avoid but it doesn't seem like there's much of a choice. i was hoping to use this money to fix my belt squel and my cracked spring but looks like this has to come first if anyone knows of any good glass shops around the north west suburbs of il that would really help me out. the best price i can find it for right now is about 185. Thanks for all the help already. I feel very welcome here and plan on keeping my truck for a while so i know il be on this site all the time!
