    any advise for removing the window run channel? Obviously the glass has to come out, but after the glass is out, does the run channel just pull out of the groove in the door and the lower guides? This is a front door of a 2008 access cab.

    Talking about item #2 in the parts diagram:

    Thanks!

    Nevermind, we forged ahead and pulled the glass out. the run just sits in the channels and pulls right out

    Just curious, why did you have to replace/change the window guides? My pass. window sometimes get jammed and won't go up. It falls out of the grove(#3 in the photo) for some reason. When this happens, I have to take off the door panel and guide the glass into place.

    we are raptor lining the whole truck. I would suggest that you replace the guide and the run. getting the glass out was really easy

    I would check the window regulator for binding and or the 10mm bolts that bolt the glass to the window regulator my be missing or loose.

    I'll look into that. If nothing seems to be loose, I will probably just replace the guide and run channel.

    MINT!!

    what size Taco?
    Double Cab SB? LB?
    Access Cab?

    I very much would like to raptor line my truck but I can't decide on how many bottles of liner is required
