| Description of the problem | I have a new body style 2004 ford f-150 and just the other day my passenger side front window just dropped into the door while i was driving about 55 miles an hour down the interstate. There was a sort of popping noise and then the window just fell into the door. The situation startled me a great bit, but luckily there was no accident. Upon further personal investigation i found that the failure of the window regulator was the reason for the window dropping. The cable driven window regulator is made up of cheap plastic parts that are obviously not strong enough to hold the weight of the large window over time. |
