No, it is not hard to work on the rear window. look at the previous post, http://broncozone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=6889&hl= ,and suggestion by (Meisk5)
That proceedure will give you the general idea and you can adjust for what is actually wrong.
If you get it opened up and can't figure it out, post with a description of what you see and need to know.
Good luck,

Scroll to "The only things left inside the tailgate are the two window runners, each is held on by two bolts. On one of my runners, a mount was rusted off as shown in the picture. This allowed the window to sit crooked in the tailgate and did not allow it to slide up and down easily."
He gives a lot of tips incl how to support the glass; we made sure the tailgate was down horizontally as far as it would go, then pushed it, measured lowest point from ground and placed a swahorse under it with a blanket folded to make up the space.
You don't need to do all he wrote about, but it may be good to clean things up in there during this Spring weather.

and as Dustin wrote; they advise;"...Window regulator assembly has a strong helper spring. If the regulator arms are not against the stops they could snap there at any time causing injury and damage. Be careful..."

It's easy to do yourself, but Ford has insurance if anything breaks. I fixed my rear window with a few tools, and some supports. I replaced it for less than a hundred at this guy's shop, and it was a much nicer experience.
