    Over the course of a year all four windows on my 2004 f150 have failed. The bracket mechanism breaks, following a large noise, and the window slides down. Each instance i had to take the vehicle into the ford dealership to have the regulator assembly replaced. *tr

    Nothing led to the failure, the regulators just failed. At the time i drove my truck maybe once a week, as i was a stay at home mom. I believe i was on my way to kaiser for a "well baby" check up when i tried to roll my window up, it just dropped in to the door, never to be seen again. At least not until my husband rigged it to stay up. About 2 months later, the same thing happened to a different window as we were…
