JC — May 10, PM. Fortunately I found your website. Really good articles…I have just imported a 66 convertible from the US to Switzerland and was checking out the the window regulators as it seems they need replacing. But now I have a problem with the catch mechanism for the door. The rod on the inside has become detached from the handle push-button and I have no-idea on how to get this back into place. I guess the same situation would happen when I remove the door handles for repainting the doors.
Can you point me in the right direction on how to sort this out? Both the door latch and lock rods attach with a door latch rod retainer; part number C3AZBR It sounds like the rod retainer in your Mustang either broke or has just detached; getting it back in place is simple, all you do is push the clamping end onto the rod.

Coming down they are reasonably manageable. I then purchased and installed power lift mechanisms and they are the same. Everything is lubed and straight, any suggestions? Mark Wootton — October 10, PM. Mark, It sounds like you need to replace the window regulators.
After many years of use the regulator will where out and become difficult to operate especially when rolling up, and when going down its very easy and eventually your window will roll down on its own while driving. JoeResto — October 11, AM. Just wanted to say thanks for the video! After reading all kinds of different methods to remove the regulator, yours was the easiest!
Actually seeing it happen made it easier to understand. I found it easier to drill out the rivets holding the rollers, than sliding it out. When I installed new power regulators, I cut open the top of the window tracks with a dremel, which gave just enough room to slide the roller in. Mojo — November 8, PM.
Thank God for your sight. Question, my psgr side window on my 66 tang was jammed down and could not roll up. I aligned an greased the guides and it worked find for a couple of times but now the crank just turns and nothing happens. Tom, You definitely need to replace the window regulator.
JoeResto — December 3, AM. Kieth, It sound like you need to replace your window regulator. Sometimes the regulator will get really sloppy or it can become really tuff to roll up and down, its time to replace those worn out window regulators. JoeResto — December 14, AM. Thanks great site. Your demo is on a 67 is it the same for a It is fantastic to find someone like you that is prepared to help people, very rare quality thanks John John mantova — December 18, AM.
John, The window regulator replacement for a 65 or 66 Mustang is similar to the procedures on the Mustang, however the has a regulator and scissor assembly that detach from each other that make replacement a little bit easier. JoeResto — December 18, AM. The back of the window can reach it place. Any suggestions? Jan Larsen — February 6, AM.
Jan, So your window wont roll up all the way, hers a couple of things that may be causing the problem: If new window channel strips are installed they typically put the squeeze on the glas frame is it nears to top edge of the door; work with it. The other possible reason is the stop bracket on the window frame of glass run that needs to be adjusted. Take your time, loosen things up and then try to roll it up. JoeResto — February 9, AM.
Is there an adjustment? Is it maybe incorrectly installed? Mike Golberg — May 14, PM. Mike, There are two things that will prevent your windows from rolling all the way up.
The first thing could be that the window stops are set too low and need to be adjusted to let the window go all the way up, the stop is located at the back of the door at the vertical window guide. The other most common reason is new window channel strips that have been installed. This is a common problem since the area is now squeezed smaller with the new strips in place, the bottom of the window frame hangs up on the new strips not allowing the window to go all the way up easily; you could force it but this could cause the window channel strip to come loose.
If it is the strips I would recommend installing very tiny sheet metal screws at the back edge of the strips to make sure that they do not come loose when rolling the window all the way up, roll the window all the way up and let this area decompress for a while to help loosen things up.
JoeResto — May 15, AM. Thank you for the info, I am going to look for the stops to adjust. On the top or bottom? Is it a hex bolt do you just slide it to where you need it and lock it down? I just am not quite sure what to be looking for.
Thanks again for a great website!! Mike Golberg — May 18, AM. Mike, The stop adjuster for the up position is located at the rear vertical, should be a standard bolt that holds the bracket, loosen it up, roll up the window and then secure it.
You may have to loosen up all mounting point then give it a roll up and position it, then secure everything. JoeResto — May 18, AM. I have a ford explorer replaced driver side door motor.

Aisin Window Regulator - Front Right. Aisin Window Regulator - Front Left. Image is not vehicle specific. Up here just with your fingers or use a screwdriver, pry that panel right off. Now your door panel will lift up and off. Now you want to pull your water shield back. You want to do this slowly and carefully. Just make sure you don't rip it. You can see with my window down in this position which is basically about two inches down, you can look right through this hole and you can see a rivet right there as well as a rivet right there.
This window regulator is riveted basically onto the window. You can see this is my new regulator and here's that track and there's the holes where those rivets are. Now the new regulator is made just like the Ford. Normally what you would do is have the regulator in there then lower the window down in and attach the regulator to the window. But that's not the case.
The easiest way to do it when you're replacing a regulator is actually to take this off the new regulator. The only time that that wouldn't work is if your problem is that one of the rivets on your original regulator is broken, but that's a pretty rare occurrence.
Normally it's either one of these joints has gone bad or your window motor has gone bad. First thing you will want to do is actually take the new regulator part which basically is just a matter of bending this track with the little indentations in the track.
Take a screwdriver and twist it in there. Now go to a larger screwdriver. Now you have the regulator without that track. Since most regulators or motors don't break in that position I'm running it down so I can show you have to take it apart if your motor is all the way in the down position. There are connections right here. There's a tab you can pry back with your thumb and pull all the contacts out. Then you want to pull this away from your door and push it through the hole. Now there are four bolts here.
There are two nuts right here. There are two bolts here. Then these two nuts here need to come off. Take your 11 mm socket and ratchet. I'll fast forward here as we remove those nuts and bolts. This procedure would be the same if your window motor or regulator broke in the up position as well. You just want to be careful as you take these bolts apart if your window is up as the regulator could shift and fall down. Now you are also going to want to take and remove this piece of weather stripping.
That's pretty easy. You just have to pry out and it comes off. Now push this stud through and lift up on your regulator, lift up on your window.
Put a piece of wood right in there to hold it up. Right here I'm just going to bend this little tab stop with my screwdriver so it's flush against the track. There now it's bent flat and we will use a pair of pliers to bend this tab up some. Once you've bent those tabs out of the way then actually have an assistant hold the window, you can pull the piece of wood out of the way.
Now lift up on the window some. Just a note here, whenever you're lifting the window, always try to lift it nice and level. Don't let the front drop down too much or it could come out of its track.
That's good. Now you just slide the track out and you have to kind of pull it towards the inside of the door and it comes out. Lift the window up some more. As the window goes up more you can actually take this arm and bend it around and let the window back down some.
Then that comes out. Now you just have to get your regulator, can you lift it up all the way or is it while your assistant lifts the window out of the way, you can pull the regulator out of the door.
Take the new regulator and you want to have this basically turned this way. When you mount it goes like that, but to start you want to have it like that. Put the new regulator in.
You want to reach in and get your harness and make sure that you feed your harness through. You can see here my harness is just fed through. Can you let the window down some? Just have him let the window down so you can see the track up here and make sure you're taking your swing arm and putting that in first. Bend that arm that way and now lift your regulator up and put your second arm in.
Then slide it back this way, lift it up. Can you let the window down just a little bit? Up, I'm sorry. Go up. Down a little bit.
