Was rolling rear passenger window down right side and heard a crunching noise. Then the window got stuck open. After taking the panel off I seen the plastic parts broken.

Went to leave for work the other day and was cooling off inside of hot car rolling down windows, when rear right passenger window went up and then immediately just fell down and stayed there. Now it takes two people to pull it up so one stands outside and the other on the inside of door pushing button while both push up window. Estimate for repair is $300-400 if its just plastic part, more if its the "regulator." Obviously cannot ignore and have rain and car unsecured all the time!

My passenger rear window started to go up and down slower and slower and slower. Then I had to have someone help it up while I pushed the button. Then it just fell into the door. I took the door apart and that lovely plastic clip that holds the pully wire in place is laying in 3 pieces in the bottom of the door. To fix it? Can't get a new clip. Oh no. That would be too easy. You have to replace the whole motor and pully assembly-pay a deposit on the motor till you give them the old one back- drill out the rivit that holds everything to the metal arm that moves the window, detach the window from the metal arm without breaking the window. And you get to try to do all this while trying to squeeze your hands into the steel door frame. Did I take it to have it fixed?? Hahahahahaha. Yeah- that's funny. Ford Rocks!!!!!

I had three power windows that failed within one week. One of the windows also shattered. A cheap plastic clip at the end of one of the cables failed but the whole power window unit has to be replaced. The total cost to fix was almost $1,000!
