How to Install a 1998 Ford Mustang Window Regulator

The 1998 Ford Mustang has two power window regulators, one in each door. The regulator is a mechanical, scissor-shaped device that opens and closes the window. The power window motor turns a gear on the base of the window regulator that makes this possible. If your 1998 Mustang's window regulator breaks, you may notice either the window seems to be off-track or it won't close. When this happens, if you have a solid grasp on auto-repair, you can install a new window regulator in your 1998 Ford Mustang in about an hour.
