| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 ford f-150 lariat supercrew 4 door truck. Each of the past 3 years i've had 3 window regulators break. To the day they are still not fixed because of cost issues,almost $200 each not including the $140 labor bill. What breaks is the plastic part that the cable is connected to. The first 2 window regulators broke quietly while the 3rd one made 2 loud pops and the window fell down. It is now winter and i hope the 4th and final window doesn't break. The ford service department told me they are sold as a whole unit,motor,track and cable. The motors don't go bad, the plastic piece in the track breaks. Currently i have plastic pvc pipe propping the window up on the 3 windows. Very much an inconvenience when you drive up to a drive thru window and never know when your windows going to give out. |
