Hi There.
If I remember correctly FoMoCo had a recall on pwr windows for Aerostars between 1986-1990. It consisted of changing the motor and regulator with one that had more teeth. The window motors were available through FoMoCo's remanufactuer division. I've had mine replaced a long time ago and have had no trouble. However I regularly (2/3 times a yrear) lube my window runs with silicone and that makes the slide up and down easier and with less strain on the motor. Good luck. Brian

Hi There Ima,
Thank you for your reply but if i am not mistaken FoMoCo's is in the states but the problem i have is that i am in the uk.But the information about changing it for one with more teeth i found was usful.
Thanks Eddie

Hi There.
I thought there was a Ford Motor Company in England. I thought they built British Fords over there, or am I really behind the times. Is there no Ford dealerships over there? It might be that their "Remand Division" might only be in North America. TTFN Brian
