What this repair is

The regulator is the scissor-or-cable mechanism that raises the glass; on power windows the motor often comes with it. The telltale is a window that drops into the door, moves crooked, or clicks without moving. The door panel comes off for the repair — most of the price is that labor, not the part.

Is your quote fair?

If your quote lands between $268 and $402, it's inside the range where half of all real Ford F-150 repairs of this kind land — and the typical job takes about 1.3 hours of labor. Quotes well below aren't automatically good news (economy parts, or related work skipped) and quotes above aren't automatically gouging (trim variants, premium parts, seized hardware) — but both ends deserve questions.
