george.bryant Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Hey everyone, For a few months my window has been making these chronic clunking noises when i goto close it. It only happens when its about 1 inch away from the top (of closing). The only way to get it to the top is to grab onto it when its going up and assist it by giving it a help with lifting. I had the door panel off yesterday trying to diagnose the problem but couldnt figure it out. Surely someone has some advice? Thanks, George _________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruxGNZ Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Most likely the window regulator is binding. You would think this happens on just older vehicles, but no, my '02 Chevy S-10 had this happen about 4 months ago. One of the rivits holding the regulator in popped loose and it was binding, making for a loud clunk and having a hard time moving the window up. I would suggest pulling the door panel off again and look at the regulator. If anything, just lube it and see if it works better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george.bryant Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share Posted April 14, 2006 I had the door panel off yesterday looking at everything for ages, but i'm not sure what i should be looking at. Could you please post a pic or diagram of where the regulator is located? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
