Skip the rivet gun when your front left window regulator gives out. The Dorman window regulator 740-756 is a direct-fit power window regulator for the 1996-2007 Ford Taurus and 1996-2005 Mercury Sable, and it mounts in the front left door.
The factory regulator is riveted into the door, so replacing it normally takes a specialized rivet gun. This Dorman OE Solutions window regulator is an OE FIX design that installs with threaded hardware instead, which speeds up the job and helps save time and money. It is sold as the regulator only, and the power window motor is a separate part.
- Trustworthy replacement: Engineered and tested to fit, function and perform like the original regulator on the listed vehicles.
- Time-saving solution: A redesigned installation process adds convenience and cuts labor time compared with the original equipment design.
- Easy to install: You do not need a special automotive rivet gun to install it.
- Reliable design: Engineered in North America and cycle-tested thousands of times in an actual vehicle door, with a long service life as the goal.
The regulator is the mechanism inside the door that raises and lowers the glass. A window regulator may need replacing if the glass moves slowly or crooked, drops into the door, or will not move while the motor can be heard running. Grinding or clicking from inside the door is another sign. Diagnose the cause before you replace anything, because a motor or switch fault can produce similar symptoms. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for full fitment details.
