Ford_lover38 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hi all, My front left electric window makes a very strange noise when I move it up or down. I have taken it to a ford dealer and they its not the motor thats got they believe its the regulator and they have quoted me £173 to open it up and fit a new one in. Is this a fair price? Also they did suggest if I paid £50 they could open the door and just oil the current regulator which could get the window to stop making that noise. Do you think this is a fair price and I have tried to find a guide on how to take the door trim off but nothing for my 2009 Ford Focus model. Any help would be much appreciated! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 for a dealer its not a bad price, but you could strip down the entire door card for the cost of a few clips, and lubricate it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford_lover38 Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 Sorry for the delay in my response, didnt get a email notification! I've had a look online on how to take the door off to get to the window but cant find any advice on how to do it for my car. Dont suppose you know where I could find a guide on how to do this?

Cost well under £20, could save you £30 for this job alone. I have used it for that job & many similar. It is quite easy to get the door trims off, but there are a couple of little tricks about the fastenings that the book tells you about.
