Driving down interstate in 2004 Ford F150 XLT with approx. 70K miles and inadvertently lowered rear window. When I went to close the window, I heard a loud crack and realized that the window was not going back up. After pulling off onto the shoulder to inspect what had occurred, I saw that my rear window had dropped into the door. Luckily it was not raining that day or I would have had a back seat full of water. I took it to a local mechanic who said that Ford's power window bracket regulator, which was cracked, is one piece and required replacement by taking apart the door. $275 was spent to fix the rear window. I have seen numerous complaints regarding Ford's windows. Right now I consider myself lucky that it has only happen to one window, but I won't be surprised if it happens again soon to another window since it appears others have had two or three windows with this problem. It appears to be a major defect that should be recalled.
