Re: Power Window Problems - Rear Doors
Exactly the same happened to my 1999 Focus 1.8 LX 5 door. The window that
failed was the front passenger side one. My son was just lowering it and
basically the same thing happened, although nothing actually broke. The
cable was so badly damaged as it had wrapped very tightly around the plastic
pulley it came off, that the whole assembly which included the motor had to
be changed. The car was about four years old when this happened and had
covered only about 24,000 miles.
I seem to remember the part alone was around £150 inc VAT, plus about £80
for fitting.
I wonder if this is a inherent problem, and if it has been addressed on the
later Focus's - not the latest shape ones.
Hope this info helps.
