2002 Ford Explorer V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic

I have the rear right window disassembled following a window that wouldn't return to the upward position. The motor runs fine. The regulator has a plastic piece that connects the regulator to the window. This is cracked. I have looked everywhere for a rear window regulator, but can only find front ones. My dealer told me that I will need a new motor and regulator, but I am unsure. Can I get a replacement regulator and attach it to the current motor, or do I need to buy the whole set up? Thanks in advance.

The window motor and regulator come as a unit not seperately and cost $154.88 this is an OEM dealer part cost?

Thanks Dave H, I appreciate your info. Would I be able to install a salvaged regulator into the current motor and make the window work? If not, I will look into getting one from a dealer. Thanks again!

I don't have seperate price listing's. And in the manual it gives a removal procedure for both together because they must have to come out togehter? But in my database for work times I have times for R&R of regulator. And R&R of motor. So i'm guessing you must be able to seperate them once off the vehicle? Your best bet would be to try a salvage yard and remove it to see if they do in fact seperate once off vehicle. If they don't you could still replace with salvaged part.?
