Ford F150 Window Regulator Broken

Does Ford care about safety? About quality? This is the 4th window regulator in my four door truck to break. The regulator is what allows the window to go up and down, kind of like a track. Ford sends out quarterly letters talking about how much they care about quality and control. What a joke. Search the web to see the horror stories of the regulator broken. Get ready to spend $150 on the part and $150 on labor.

Ford is responsible for the quality of their vehicles. Nobody else. This is a major problem that eventually will be addressed. Sadly, it will in a district court for hundreds of millions of dollar. This is a safety issue. The window could fall at any minute for no reason. A child or adult could be tossed out and killed. Windows and windshield are safety measures, not cosmetic accessories.

Same thing happened to me on my '04 F150 right pass. door. It's an easy change out. Don't buy the cheapo (but expensive) Ford dealer part. Buy the Darman aftermarket part from Amazon. I got it for 70 bucks shipped. Installed it in an 1 hour. The Darman part is much better quality. F150 forum has lots of instructions and pictures on door panel removal. It was easier than I thought it would be.

I have a four door 04 as well and every window regulator has broken. Instead of screwing them up I used some tie straps you can secure through some holes in the door frame. It is depressing however because if I replaced the part again, like you said its designed so god awful its just going to break again. When you pointed out those cables attached to the regulator I got chills, not only are the cables garbage they have these tiny piece of crap plastic clips that secure at the ends. Depressing.
