Ford F150 - Window issue (but it hasnt fallen yet!??)

I just bought the truck less than two weeks ago(this is my FIRST ever ford! ). Its a 2005 FX4 with 10K miles on it.

The passenger window makes wierd noise when rolling down which just started out of nowhere. Its not metal/glass grinding, its more like a "rubb rub rub rub" type of sounds. I had rolled it up and down more than a dozen times before this noise started and it was fine. It sounds normal when rolling up and still goes up/down at the same speed.

Any idears?

take it apart to see or be prepared for it to fall because it seems like it has been a problem with 04+ f150s

You wouldnt happen to have a link to a how-to with pictures would you?

I'll post the article shortly. Look for it to appear here: http://www.fordf150.net/articles/

If you have warranty left, or extended warranty on the truck, get it to the dealer and get that checked out.

Ford dealership states they charge if there is a No Fault Found or cannot duplicate. I forgot to say the issue is intermittent as of this morning.

This was the first place I looked.

Cant find anything there about windows, let me know when you post it!

Thanks!

If it only occurs when you let the window down, look at the outer rubber ban/stip(at the bottom of the window). Our Expedition occas will invert a part of the outer rubber stip as the window goes down(catches) causing a rubbing noise. If so, use your finger and seperate the rubber from the window. Works for a while, then have to redo. Just a thought

That article would be great.
Any idea when you'll put it up webmaster?

Mine did the same thing. Of course it took 3 1/2 yrs to do it. I opened the pannel and the wire rope had broken. Now the passenger window has done it. The whole assembly for each window is $140 to repare yourself or you can let the dealership fix it for $300. Hmmmm, thinking you should fix yourself.

well, i've been putting my repair off for a while, so today i decided to fix it. get everything apart, laying on the garage floor, ready to install the motor...guess what? they sent me the motor for the oposite side of the truck. now tomorrow i have to go out of town. oh well....
