Hi everyone!!

I'm having lots of problems with my driver side window. Well I guess I should start from the beginning of my great story.. I hope I don't lose any one.

When I bought my used mustang from the dealership the window wasn't sealing right and kept catching the convertible top. They said it was because the little plastic piece that is attached to the window that holds it on the track broke. So, they replaced the whole driver side window with the new plastic piece attached to the window. Then I had to get my window re tinted to match my other tint. Ok window was fine for a year or so. Then the window broke again. It came off the tracking and wouldn't go up right and scratched the tint. The dealership looked at it. They said that the plastic piece broke off the window. Do you want to replace the whole window again which means it would be out of my pocket this time or just re glue it. I said re glue and then I fixed my tint again. Now, this week I took my mustang in for a new stupid filler neck because I was leak gas. I picked up my car and they had all my windows down. As I was driving off I was putting my windows up my drive side window was broken once again. I turned my car around and took it back and told them that the window wasn't broken/going up right like this when I dropped it off. They said oh ok we will take care of it. It’s on us. Here is a rental and you can pick it up tomorrow. I'm like ok thank you. I come and pick it up the next day. They took me back to where the car was to show me the problem. They said that he window assembly was completely dry with no grease and the arms that lifted the window was metal rubbing against metal and broke a part. They fixed the part and re greased the arms ohh and they scratch my tint again. They told me to take to where they get tint work done it’s on us. I'm like thanks. I got in my car with once again with the window down. Started to pulling out on to the street and put the window. The window was a little jumpy like it was catching on something and closed but I looked over on the left side of the window and it wasn't sealed against the rubber. I was pissed. I tested it more at home up and down with the window and it wasn't right at all going up and down. Last try the window caught on the rubber molding and heard something snap inside with door. Called them right away and they said it was working fine. But then they told me to bring it in on Monday morning.

Sorry about the long story but I'm pissed off!!!!

I'm about to just get everything replaced inside the door and get a new window.

Is anybody else having any problems with their window??

Shizzzle lets just start off with my passenger side window. I have a convertible and it had been not seealing right and then all of a sudden was off track and was catching on the weather stripping. So I took the weather stripping off and it would roll up somewhat but was all %^$#&* up so I took it to my uncles shop the guy opened it up and he had to reglue the plastic piece on the bottom. I get my car back it messes up again and comes off track so I take it back they look at the regulator and its all fugged up and the plastic piece came unglued. So they get me a new regulator and glue the plastic piece on again. Two days after I got it back it stopped going up so I took off the weather stripping and it goes up now. Now my driver side, occassionally it used to not go up and just all around not respond to me pushing the button sometimes. But then the next day or later that day it would go up. But now it has stuck down the only thing that I can use to diagnose the problem without taking the door panel off is that when I press down on the switch I hear a ticking sound everytime I push it. But up I hear nothing. So yes I've had about the same ****ty luck as you.

I thought I was the only one with this problem on the forums site. I didn't see anybody else bitching about this window problem before. I was doing some research online and found this http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forum...ow-repair.html

in the 99-02 ford used a window design that was pretty ****ty, they changed it in 03 because there were so many problems with the window adhesive coming in glued and windows sliding off the track.

So, how should I fix this problem??

A) just get everything replaced inside the door and get a new window

B) replace it with 03/04 window design....??? if its interchangeable

C) ??? i don't even know

you have to buy a whole new window with it attached or just reglue it with epoxy or some kind of glue

I think thats the only thing you can do.

well I took it in and they look at it again. I have to replace the whole window regulator. Hope this will fixed the problem.

99 GT vert

i have the same problem ford told to replace the regulator it happens to alot earlier new edges and with a new regulator it will be fixed

but the regulator is not real cheap since you have to buy a new motor with it

IMO, unless the dealership has a body shop, Dont take it there anymore. I would find the best body shop or mobile glass shop in town and let them do the work.. Im not putting down any techs that work for dealerships,I know there are many good ones out there, but Body shop techs have a better understanding and alot more experience with window and door problems, and you pay 40-44 bucks an hour labor instead of 60-80 an hour at the dealer.....
