| Right window regulator failed, driver's side is cracked and about to fail the dealership asked for $379.00 for replacement part. i then called wrecking yards (2) and explained that i needed a window regulator for a ford probe 1989 they informed me that part is not available for the drivers side i would have to get on a waiting list due to the fact that so many have failed. when i asked about the left side i was quoted $150 and $125 both places needed a week to get the part. due to the statements from the wrecking yards and the fact that my car has only 2700 miles on it and is already having problems i thought maybe ford might have realized that these particular window regulators were not strong enough and would have issued a recall to replace the defective regulators. *ak | |||
