 Description of the problem2004 ford f150 window regulators. Driving home at night window started lowering itself. No way to secure truck that night. Took apart window and removed regulator. The part of the window that secures glass is a combination of metal and plastic the plastic piece secures the cables that are attached to the power window motor. These plastic pieces are under too much stress and then either begin cracking or break altogether. This causes the cable to be unsecured thus causing the window glass to no longer have support. There are one of two easy fixes for this problem that i can see,or maybe three. The first is to redesign the part without the use of plastic. Number two is to offer this particular piece separate because it actually can be remove without any problem from the window tracks and offer it as an alternative repair part for those who are mechanically inclined to repair it themselves,or have a recall on these regulators. I believe if a recall was offered on these regulators the fix would be the removable alternative part. Too keep from having continuing recalls the part should be all metal or upgrade the plastic somehow although all metal would be better. If a recall is offered ,dealers will want the small removable part as the fix i'm almost sure of. In the mean time i will have to search for the complete regulator with or without motor which is becoming difficult because most parts companies want to sell the complete assembly or in my case don't offer the rear window regulator which forces us too have to go too ford and pay in excess of 200 dollars for the part and labor for those who are not mechanically inclined. Anyway if door glass is falling and shattering this is a safety issue and because this can happen in extreme weather. Also the vehicle cannot be secured causing theft to rise and thus insurance rates too rise also. Tell ford to fix the problem. Thank you for this link.
