window down, rain coming!!!
Hi guys. I have a 1991 f150 with power windows. The driver side window was working on and off for a few weeks but now it is stuck all the way down. Any ideas? Thanks a million...

replacing the assembly and using hardened bolts and wax nuts to replace the rivets you drilled out.
If its the switch, try using the one that operates the passsenger side window, if you unplug the passenger side,( it will stay up,as long as its allready up). -until you can replace the drivers side, it will fit in the plug, but you may have to dangle it,
If Niether is the case, get it to come up by hand, and duct tape it from the inside..good luck.

Four possibles:
Stripped gear kit (D0AZ-62234A24-B) available from Ford and parts stores. There are two different kits. You want the LATE kit.
Bad motor.
The plastic window roller has broken. This part has a threaded metal swivel stud which bolts into the end of the regulator arm, the roller portion fits into the window channel that bolts to the glass. The roller tends to break where the stud attaches to the plastic portion of the roller. When the roller breaks, window falls into door.
Bad window channel. Originals were made from plastic, and became brittle over time, which causes them to crack. If there's a metal window channel there now, the plastic type was replaced at some time.
