I had put it off on my wife's car for 6 months because I wasn't going to pay $450+ like the dealer quoted. Thankfully I ran across your instructions because the dinger was driving my wife nuts! The cheapest I found mine was for $83 at my local Advance Auto. It wasn't as bad as I expected, but the inner door panel was the hardest to get off. I now feel I could do it in an 1-1/2 to 2 hrs. I know I spent a little time chasing down the right torx bits and other tools. Ford definitely has a problem with it, but a service tech told my wife that Ford probably will never touch it sine it wasn't a safety issue.

12Edge, many thanks for your write up on latch replacement !! I was able to replace the drivers latch in my wife's 12' Edge in about 2-1/2 hours. The only thing I did different, was use a pair of Craftsman clamps to hold the window up instead of using the tape. I added so foam pieces to the clamp jaws as they were originally hard plastic.
