One of the side windows on my sons car is off the track I believe. You can push the window down by hand. I assume that the window has come loose from the bottom track and it is just a matter of getting some adhesive and securing it back to the track. I have replaced power window motors but have never had to do something like this.

It could be a bad motor(stripped gears) or a bad regulator.

What type of car?

Possibly the window regulator came apart since most do have cable with plastic rollers.

Oreillys carry most regulators with motors.

It is a Ford Focus. I do not have much experience with cars just trucks. I had to replace the gaer assembly in an F-150 once but the window stayed up.

I just looked at a 04 Focus and it does have cables also. I don't know what year car you have.

2002

Just checked for the 02 and it has the same design as the 04.

So do you think motor and regulator?

I believe it's the regulator that came apart, this is your regulator with motor.

Regulator is fairly cheap. I guess I will be pulling the door panel sometime. I hope it is not too big of a job, I am busy enough with work, dove, hunting, work on the deer lease, fishing, etc., & etc.

Does anybody know what kind of job it is to replace the regulator? Does it involve removing the glass?

most of the newer vehicles you have to loosen two nuts that hold the glass to the regulator to remove the regulator from the car,there are several 10mm nuts that you take off.
remove door panel,and pull window up about 3/4 of the way and use duct tape over the top of the door down to the glass to hold in place,loosen the two nuts that attach to the glass,and then remove the other nuts holding the regulator in,remove connector from motor and remove the regulator,then reinstall new regulator
and reattach glass.

Thanks, that I wanted some idea before I started on it. I keep hearing about glass shops and special tools required. If that is the case my son can live without an operable window for awhile.

if you run into any trouble just holler i come thru rockwall every day for work.
