Need door window moldings for all doors on 98 century.. Current moldings are cracked due to excessive sun exposure

Of course the dealer can probably supply the mouldings. Most large cities have companies that supply body shops with aftermarket parts which include things like trim.
You can check with a local body shop or the phone book for suppliers, as well as online.

The window came out of the track on my 1998 Ford Expedition. How do I get the door panel off and put the window back in it's track? Thanks!

You won't be putting it back on it's track. You will be replacing a broken regulator cable most likely.

You remove any screws you find around the arm rest and door handle,then carefully pry the trim away from the door structure.

You will break a few christmas tree fastners along the way. You get them at an auto paint and body supply house

Remove interior rear door panel

On the inside trim, you can remove screws (these screws may be covered by filler pieces or may be visible, or they may require you pry a plastic piece off that covers the screws) that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. Then you'll need to manipulate the panel and disconnect the door handle linkage from the door handle and disconnect the wiring for your controls.

Rh door panel

1. Remove the philips screw in the plastic trim by the mirror and remove the trim piece.
2. Using a flat blade screw driver gently pry up the front of the panel holding the window and door lock switches. This pulls the assembly out of the spring clamp. Pull it up and forward to remove it from the arm rest.
3. Remove the two philips screws holding the switches to the trim piece.
4. Find the two screws holding the arm rest. They're at the junction of the arm rest and the switch assembly. Only the one going into the door needs to be removed.
5. Gently pry the trim piece from the door handle. There are two spring clamps, one in the front and one in the rear of this plastic piece.
6. There is a hidden phillips screw that needs to be removed. It's located at the inside bottom rear corner of the door panel. It's hidden in the carpet trim.

After this last screw is removed the door panel can be lifted straight up and off. Feed the cable harness through the hole and your're done.
