Crappy designed regulator's, common problem. Hope the truck's still in warranty because they ain't cheap.

It was the plastic piece that holds the cable in place and ford wont just sell you that little piece of plastic. They make you buy the whole window assembly for $241 dollars

Shop around for the assembly. I'm in south florida and the dealers down here sell the asembly for $165. Learn how to replace them yourself, its not too bad a job and if you plan to keep this truck more than 3 years this will not be your last assemblt to fail,
