| Description of the problem | Drivers side rear window fell to the floor with no warning. This is the third window regulator (only driver door remaining) that i have to replace in 4 months. All have failed in the same manner, where the cable connects to the plastic. It is a bad design, replacement is made from different material. Ford is the only source for the replacement regulator $185 per unit. I contact ford dealer and he was not very helpful. He was going to provide 25% reduction in cost of $400 on repair. |
