Electric Window Goes Up to far

[TheDuke]

Gang,

I have a 2000 Mustang and the driverside window one day began going up to far creating the condition of which the door would not shut. The window would bump the top of the roof facing. I traveled to Ford expecting a minor adjustment to be made; however, they indicated to fix it they would have to replace the entire window and track assembly costing $450!

Does anyone have this problem and if so what have you done to fix it. I am selling the car and this is the only problem with it and want to get it fixed.

Thx
The Duke

If the window goes up too far, you just bought a new regulator assembly and they are a pain in the butt to change if you have never done one before. Unfortunately there is not a cheap fix for that one.

A cheaper, temporary fix could be just don't roll it up all the way. Would that work for you? It prob is what you are doing now isn't it.

I also had this problem in my 2001 v6. I used it as an excuse to trade it in and buy a 2004 GT. Not the best solution, but it solved the problem.
