I HAVE A 2005 FORD F-150 I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THREE OF THE WINDOWS NOW FALLING DOWN INTO THE DOOR BECAUSE THE CLIP ON THE WINDOW REGULATORS KEEP BREAKING. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD AS ONE TIME I EVEN HAD THE GRANDKIDS IN THE BACKSEAT AND DID NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND COULD THEN NOT ROLL UP THE WINDOW FOR THEIR SAFETY. FORD CHARGES $450 FOR THIS PART EACH TIME AND HAS ADMITTED REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH THIS HOWEVER HAS NOT RECALLED THIS ITEM TO DATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME WITH THREE DIFFERENT WINDOWS WITHIN A 6 MONTH PERIOD. THERE IS NO WARNING YOU JUST GO TO ROLL YOUR WINDOW DOWN AND IT FALLS INSIDE OF THE DOOR. IT IS LUCKY THE WINDOW DID NOT BREAK OR ANY OTHER THING HAPPENED WITH THE GRANDKIDS.

DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE IN 2004 FORD F150 XLT WITH APPROX. 70K MILES AND INADVERTENTLY LOWERED REAR WINDOW. WHEN I WENT TO CLOSE THE WINDOW, I HEARD A LOUD CRACK AND REALIZED THAT THE WINDOW WAS NOT GOING BACK UP. AFTER PULLING OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER TO INSPECT WHAT HAD OCCURRED, I SAW THAT MY REAR WINDOW HAD DROPPED INTO THE DOOR. LUCKILY IT WAS NOT RAINING THAT DAY OR I WOULD HAVE HAD A BACK SEAT FULL OF WATER. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO SAID THAT FORD'S POWER WINDOW BRACKET REGULATOR, WHICH WAS CRACKED, IS ONE PIECE AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT BY TAKING APART THE DOOR. $275 WAS SPENT TO FIX THE REAR WINDOW. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING FORD'S WINDOWS. RIGHT NOW I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY THAT IT HAS ONLY HAPPEN TO ONE WINDOW, BUT I WON'T BE SURPRISED IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN SOON TO ANOTHER WINDOW SINCE IT APPEARS OTHERS HAVE HAD TWO OR THREE WINDOWS WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED.
