When replacing this part, is it necessary to add adhesive to the clips where the window glass slides in? It appears that on mine there may have been adhesive...If so, what should I use?
Thanks for this very helpful video! Question: when you inserted the door handle into the bracket, what was your technique? Did you insert the bottom pin first and then push the upper one in or vice versa? I ask because I'm in the middle of this repair and I'm really hoping not to break that flimsy bracket. Thanks.
Easy Free idea. Put the window down and LIGHTLY spray the 2 up and down vertical channels that the glass travels in with WD40. If the passenger window makes no sound at all might be the master window switch.. The window motors are very reliable and not usually a problem. Most likely you will be changing the window regulator.
@@PowerUpAuto thank you i already replaced driver side switch and both windows works now , and i spray driver sides but still kinda slow but bit better. Again Thank you.
Good info. Is it good to lube the tracks that the white plastic slides on since they are what break most of the time? I am thinking of silicone grease for the lube. Or is the white plastic made of Delrin and is self lubricating but not enough to prevent breaking? Thanks.
I replaced my regulator. It lasted for about 6 months before it broke again in the same spot. It breaks the plastic piece attached to the window clip where the cable attaches. It seems like when fully open or closed, maybe the motor doesn't know when to stop and keeps pushing until the plastic breaks. Perhaps a sensor? Is there one? Any thoughts?
No. I'm guessing the regulator assembly was replaced before with a aftermarket part. You will need to either go to a salvage yard and get the Ford motor (the motors never go bad) and the bolts OR replace it with another aftermarket assembly.Problem is the Dorman parts only last 12-14months.
The motor this vehicle uses has a large computer module of some kind attached to it. Is that for the auto up/down function? These versions seem way more expensive than the regular motors. Do you know if one of the cheaper, regular motors can be swapped in if you don't mind losing the auto up and down function?
The originbal Expedition motors do not go bad, at all, ever. The regulator is all you will need to replace. IF you replaced the regulator WITGH one that includes an aftermarket motor you might need to replace the motor with a USED original motor.
@@PowerUpAuto I've got an 04 navigator and the motor is slow going up. I greased the tracks and lubed the felt guides and it's a little faster, but it's still too slow. I was going to buy a motor just to see if that the problem, but they are not $40, they are $140. That's too much to just try out. Would you suggest I continue to use my stock motor and swap in a Ford brand regulator and see if that fixes the issue?
I know this is an old video. But how did you get the cables off the motor? Trying to replace the motor and I can see the cables on the inside of the motor.
@@PowerUpAuto Do you have a part number for the adhesive, there seems to be more than one type of 3m structural adhesive...and thanks for the video. It was very very helpful.
That would be the tint that is bubbling up. Tempered glass doesn't crack, it shatters into a million pieces. Laminate glass will slice into a few pieces.
Not my car. Customer called me to replace the window regulator. If he had mentioned he also had a broken door handle we could have replaced that as well, For the record 32k customers, 44k invoices over 26 years. All we do are windows and locks. We're pretty good at this.
@@billbucktube Yeah it's pretty weird AviationNationHD blames the mechanic for how the customer maintains their vehicle. 🤣There's nothing wrong with the content of this video, so I guess they had to find something else to complain about.

Thank You. This video saved me hours repairing my wife's 2006 Expedition. Driver Front window.
Glad it helped
Was able to slide the window back into the slots on the regulator thanks to your video. Thank you!
Glad it helped
Really helpful
Glad you think so!

IF the clips came off the glass, yes. Used to use 3m structural adhesive but no longer available. Any good 2 part epoxy should work
My key turns my lock but it don’t unlock door, have you had this problem ? Also with your window reg video I repaired mine thank you
Possibly the door lock actuator needs to be replaced but it will need someone to remove the door panel and take a look
@@PowerUpAuto thanks
never mind i got it!

Yes, Bottom pin in first and then VERY LIGHTLY SLIGHTLY lift the top of the black bracket to allow for the top of the pin.
Great video..My driver side windows goes up very slow, and passenger side don't work at all any help please? Thank you

wait how did you do that with the window all the way up? i’m working on an 03 navigator so it might be a little different
Those brackets are a you know what
The two bottom Bolts r 7 mm

Don't use the aftermarket parts. The FORD parts last 8-10 years and are qarrantied for 2 years.
The motor of the regular is different than the one i purchased can i stll use it.

@@JasonWW2000 YES. The problem is ALWAYS the regulator. NOT the motor.

What kind of screws size you use for the power lift Motor
Torx 30 but no idea how long. If you are missing the screws you can find these at salvage yard
@@PowerUpAuto thank you I appreciate
what type of glue did you use for the window?
3M structural Adhesive
@@PowerUpAuto Do you have a part number for the adhesive, there seems to be more than one type of 3m structural adhesive...and thanks for the video. It was very very helpful.
@@MrFlybyme They no longer sell that adhesive. Try any good 2 part epoxy
@@PowerUpAuto Thanks
Can’t tell if you’re from New York or Boston bud

send one my way will you 😂
That window looks like it's broken.

Video starts with a broken door handle... yea, im sure this guy is a great mechanic, lets watch this video 🙄
