Driver's Window Grinding Noise

[RhinoZ24]

I guess this is the place for this lol. But anyways the last 2 days my driver's side window has sounded like it is grinding on either rocks or metal when I roll it up or down. It got a little stuck today but I got it to roll up. I'm afraid to use it now in fear that it'll be stuck down. I checked the side wells for any debris and didn't see any. I'm thinking it's the lifting mechanism behind the door panel though. Any thoughts before I start tearing my door apart?

Sounds like the motor is going bud

[RhinoZ24]

That's my worst fear, I hope not.

The motor sounds ok and like it is working fine. It sounds like the tracks for the window or the lifting arms are jamming up. Any ideas? Also it makes a loud pop when I roll it down sometimes, but it's been doing that for a long while if that info helps any.

Sounds like it's either of the track or the lifting arm is jacked up. It happins

[RhinoZ24]

So I should take it to a shop then? I have no idea how that stuff works and am not gunna break it more trying to fix it lmao.

Ahhh. U can't do it. If u wanna spend the money. But if ur gonna b an engineer. Read your Haines manual. And fix it urself and save urself the $$

[RhinoZ24]

I don't have time to read anymore lol. My hours keep going up. I'm at about 60 now, I almost know what you were going through a few months ago, at least the lack of sleep and spare time part lol. But I'll see if I can find anything.

In the winter, ice made my window stick and then the motor pulled the glass off the track and bent the track up. Maybe you have a similar problem.

I took the door panel off and had it fixed in about an hour.

Lol I know it isn't actually ice that caused it. The point is the glass might be off track.

[RhinoZ24]

Maybe, I'm just tired of taking off the door panels. I did it like 10 times just to get my speakers to fit right and not rattle, hopefully it's an easy fix.

Your best bet is to remove the panel and see .

I'll take that problematic POS off your hands for the right price, bro. :D

EDIT: Nevermind. I forgot it's only a 4.6. Deal breaker. :p

[RhinoZ24]

It's not a POS, it's a Ford. I intend to keep it lol. Just needs some minor work.

Well my dumb*** forgot about the window while leaving work, rolled it halfway down, remembered, tried to roll it up, and...nothing. So it's at the shop now, they said its probably the regulator and quoted me about $250-$350. Since I don't have any spare time to do it myself because of work and I need my window to roll up, that's my only choice. It's karma for making fun of my sister for complaining about spending money on vehicles when her Turdra's alternator died last week. So that's that, hopefully they finish it tomorrow.

Good idea. If you're ever in SoCal, go to Caruso Ford in Long Beach. Best service, staff, and prices I've seen and experienced.

Too far to drive. I don't expect a fancy one; a plane ticket will do.
