Ok I have a 1997 ford f-150 XL extended cab and the passanger side door window will not roll up without some help which is really annoying.So I removed the door panel and looked inside and the big metal thing that rolls the window up has some teeth that are worn and broke off causeing it not to roll up when it gets to a certain point can anyone tell me what this part is called so I can know what I need to buy to fix it and how hard it is to fix? these are manual windows no pwer.Thanks hope someone can help

It's called a window regulator.

I dont think that is it that part looks like what takes the window up and down.The part I need looks like a big flywheel with teeth like a sprocket the teeth are broken.

Nobody knows what that flywheel looking object inside the window is called or how to fix it?

The photo in the link may not appear to be the same thing but the "thing" with "teeth" that looks like a "flywheel" , or should look like half of a flywheel, IS called a window regulator.

It will require drilling out 3 rivets, 1/4" dia. rivets, and you'll have to have access to a large rivet gun capable of replacing those 1/4" rivets. If you don't have or can't borrow a rivet gun of that size it would be best to see what a shop will charge to replace the WINDOW REGULATOR. Those rivet guns are well over $100.00 .

I thought that whole assembly was referred to as the window regulator, not just your part that the plastic teeth sheered off of. Sounds like what happened to an '02 Grand Am SE I used to own. I only had the car for three years, but I replaced the driver's side front window regulator FOUR *bleep*ing times. Replaced the passenger side from once, too.

The teeth part and the arm is usually sold as a whole assembly. I just checked our site for you.I don't have one for this application.We carry a pile of these things too.

If you have anymore questions,feel free to pick our brains.
