Hi,

pretty sure its a complete assebly and is glued in and needs to be cut out with wire like front window. then clean out old adhesive, apply new adhesive and hoppfully set new one in straight.

So the glass is OK but the frame is bent, rusted or something? Can you see how the frame is held on?

If it is one of the side windows, you need to remove the plastic panel inside the door. IT should just pop off with some effort. Then you can access the bolts that hold the window in. I did this on a Ranger the other day.

Getting the old one out may not be too difficult, but putting the new one in properly is tricky. The proper alignment and sealant are critical to keeping out water and air noise. Had mine done earlier this year by a local glass company and they not only did it wrong the first time, but they broke the interior door panel and had to replace it at their cost. This is one job that I woould recommend leaving to someone who has done them before and can back up any mistakes they might make.

Good luck.
