REMOVAL/INSTALL OF WINDOW REGULATOR (665-3640)
Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis 1992–2010
General Tech Tips:
•
Use painter’s tape rather than duct tape to secure window. It will not damage paint or leave sticky residue.
•
A plastic pry tool is useful. It will not easily damage delicate trim like a screwdriver or metal pry bar.
•
The replacement regulator should have a liberal amount of grease on slide area. If there is not much grease
present, white lithium grease works well to lubricate the slide area.
•
Aftermarket window tinting can cause the window to travel slower and put additional strain on the window
regulator assembly.
•
Window run channels should be cleaned and lubricated before installation of a new window regulator
assembly. Silicone spray works well.

installation of window regulator and
