2003 zx3 driver side window regulator

I broke off the window crank from the window regulator, so the regulator has to be replaced (I dont trust trying to glue and screw it). I was wondering if I have to get an exact 2003 zx3 driver side regulator or if there are regulators from other Focus models and years that I could possibly hunt for at a wrecking yard?

Thank you guys for any information you can give me!

Crank broke on my 2007, just replaced it with an oem replacement and it's been fine for a couple of years. Easier than replacing the regulator and the crank.

FWIW - I'm sure any model year of ZX3 that had a crank would work, Sedan & ZX5 would be different. The problem is finding one WITHOUT power windows....

Luck!

I got mine new from the dealer, cost was $15 plus tax for a 2007 SES. No idea if they still carry parts for a 2003. I'm sure an after market replacement is available.

Go to parts store and have them run through the Dorman or Motormite catalog.
