8/6/2023 0 Comments 2008 escape![]() Over the past three years, we have replaced all four window regulators in our 08 Ford Escape. types out there, there's a how to on YouTube - (although for a 2007 model but I've had the door panel off on my 2008 before and it is very similar). Avoid this year/model if you can.in fact I'd avoid Ford altogether in the future.įor the D.I.Y. But it is frustrating to have constantly replace a regulator almost once a year! All because because Ford sucks and decided to cheap out on the design to shave off a few pennies per part (which adds up to millions in savings for them). It is a very easy repair which the dealer will gladly overcharge you. 2 screws mount the window to the regulator slide assembly via plastic clips. It is easy enough to get the door panel off and then just tape the window up, detach it from the regulator assembly.ģ bolts are used to mount regulator motor to the door and one bolt mounts the regulator slide/rail assembly to the door. Just like I did back in March 2014, I am going to order the part which is around $75 - $100 (depending on the shipping/tax costs) and install it myself. This time it is the Front Passenger (RH side) window and just like the other times the regulator failed, the window slid down and cannot be rolled up. Post #11) and just today this happened to me AGAIN!! 4th F***KING time. This is starting to get old!! I've posted about this issue before (scroll up and look for Jake A. I am using this to document the occurrences for others, but also for myself as a historical record. I had replaced the regulator on the same window, Rear Passenger RH Side in July 2017, but never posted a complaint here. Update from : actually this is the 6th occurrence. Capital F capital U capital C capital K Ford Motor Company! Still have this vehicle, but when it finally eats sh*t and dies, I will buy something other than Ford. The failure mode is such that the window stays down, so I really have no choice but to repair it. I already know how to replace it as I've replaced 3 of these myself. Vehicle is out of warranty, so I am not even bothering to get a repair estimate, I'll fix it myself (AGAIN). The dealer wanted $126 + $10 tax for the part. I ordered the part immediately online from price was $76.75 + $15.27 Shipping for a total of $92.02. Rear Passenger RH Side 2 times, Rear Passenger LH Side 1 time, Front Passenger RH Side 1 time. Am very familiar with the issue as I have replaced window regulators on this vehilce 4 times already. The 4th window, Rear Passenger Side (RH) would not roll back up. Only 3 of the 4 windows will roll back up. My A/C is not working so I rolled down all 4 windows before using the vehicle to let the heat out.
