Window removal Series III

[brntrout]

I feel rather stupid in asking this, but I cannot seem to find it anywhere else so here goes.

I would like to take the windows off of the front doors of my Series III. I have unscrewed the nuts off the 2 bolts on the inside of the door. The window frame now wiggles a bit but does not lift out. It feels like I am missing another step to the removal process, but I dont know what that could be. I do not see any other screws, bolts etc to remove? As the truck is new to me, I have no idea when the last time they were removed would have been.

What am I missing?

Your not missing anything..... There is just the two nuts. The window studs are notorious for being seized with in the upper part of the door.

May try putting the nuts back the ends of the window studs "protect the treads" and tap firmly up on the window studs....... Try to get some liquid-wrench / pib-blaster or such on the studs..... Depending on condition, may want to consider removing the door and placing at an angle as so to get liquid-wrench to flow into where needed.

Just remember... the bigger the problem, the bigger the hammer... Mine were siezed so bad when I got my truck that I had to use a 5 pound sledge and i replaced the studs with stainless studs and nuts, now they almost fall off when the nuts are removed...
