Question Window Drooping

My passenger door window won't stay all the way up. It slowly droops down about an inch every time I drive or even when parked for a couple of days. Any thoughts or experience with this problem?

Thanks

That's got to be the regulator that is worn out. Can't be the inside handle itself or the glass and there is nothing else that moves between them. Here's one vendor that makes and sells them, at least. Says made in the USA.

Ya, they say restock in two days. I couldn't see any way to tighten the spring but you might have better luck. If you find a way let us know.

Window regulator?

I don't know what that thing is actually called, but it is sort of a one way clutch. You can drill out the rivets and get inside to inspect it and clean it up. The one on the right has been cleaned the one on the left is what you will see when it's apart. If that spring clutch in there isn't working the window will not stay up.

NOS:

There's a right side window regulator (C1TZ-8123200-B) on ebay for $69.00.

Plus:

NOS PARTS LTD has 1 = 972-937-2201 // NOS PARTS SOURCE has 1 = 913-220-5746. // GREEN SALES CO. has 11 = 800-543-4959.

Carpenter has the left side (C1TZ-8123201-B), but no Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any NOS

Appears there's a difference of approx. $20 between used ebay and new; IMO I would not purchase used regular never know what U'v purchased particularly considering the difference in price; it would be similar to purchasing used hood hinges. Most importantly, check condition of the knurled spline for the handle, mine was stripped and as last ditch effort took mini rectangular file and cleaned the splines, this was 15 years or so and works fine.
