I believe i was on my way to kaiser for a "well baby" check up when i tried to roll my window up, it just dropped in to the door, never to be seen again. At least not until my husband rigged it to stay up. About 2 months later, the same thing happened to a different window as we were pulling out of the driveway to go on a camping trip. That was a good kicker for the 2+ hour drive. The truck didn't even have 40,000 miles yet. It's been about 2 years since then and i still can't afford to pay nearly $800 to get them both fixed. The second window regulator that broke isn't rigged as well to stay up, it still falls. So, it's great when it falls all the way down on my way to day care in the morning so my two toddlers can freeze. I love ford!
