May also be cheaper if you can get the motor off and resuse it as long as its not the problem. Chances are I would relpace them both with a new piece and not worry about it.

hmm. i had a similar problem where it got stuck, i ended up having to cut out a portion of the door to get to the bottom roller rail and pop the roller back on the track, if you can, try to get a mirror in there and see if the roller is off the track firstKilgore Trout said:Update: the window does not go up or down anymore, it just makes horrible clicking and popping noises. This would be the regulator right?

Wow, thanks for that info! I was reading my Haynes manual and there was a big warning about that spring. Glad to hear that I do not have to worry about death after allsvttech76 said:sounds like the regulator to me killy. lucky for you the mustang regulators don't use a counterbalance spring. Those things were deadly I had more than a few buzz by my head when the flew off.

Kilgore Trout said:What about the rivets that hold the bottom of the window onto the regulator track? Do they need an extra long drill bit to reach to and drill out for removal? And when reinstalling will the new regulator come with new rivets? Will a regular pop rivet gun reach in there or do I need a special one?
svttech76 said:Before you drill the rivets out pop the pin out the center with a hammer and punch, then I use a drill to drill out the center of the rivets, a normal drill will work all you have to do is move the regulator to where you can access the rivets easier.
As for reinstalling it, I use a big handled rivet gun. since I neve done it on a mustang I am not sure a regular nosed one will work, you may end up needing a long nosed one.
