2004 Ford Thunderbird Window Regulator Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the front door window regulator on 2004 Ford Thunderbird?

  A: The repair and servicing of the front door window regulator requires starting with the removable top when present followed by trim panel removal and watershield placement aside. Install the battery to the window switch after which you should move the window to its complete lowered position. Use the correct window glass positioning to reach the clamp bolts before separating the electrical connector to remove the window regulator nuts. During installation, put the door window glass inside the clamps fully before securing the bolt and sleeve assemblies without fastening them. The screw and the No. 4 convertible top weather strip require elimination at this time although the screw remains inaccessible when the convertible top reaches its full position. Use a 13 mm (0.52 in) wedge to place between the glass top and convertible top No. 4 frame only after you lift the door window glass to its complete top position with the convertible and door both shut. Secure the door window regulator clamp bolts before taking away the wedge and operating the window all the way down. The process requires installing the beltline moulding along with the weather strip while securing the pin-type retainer through the weather strip moulding. The procedure ends by mounting the No. 4 convertible top weather strip and screw while the top remains fully closed for evaluating correct window glass functioning as well as binding prevention and alignment adjustment when needed.
