I've been waiting for it over the years and this morning on my way to work the drivers side window made a very loud cracking and popping noise going both up and down.
Its given me trouble about being slow over the years when rolling back up but it still worked so I left it be until it did finally decide to go completely out.
It seems like now I'm going to have to take the door panel off and see whats going on in there. One reason ive been hesitant to take the panel off is according to some of the DIY's ive read in passing stating that I have to cut the moisture barrier free in order to access the interior of the window mechanism which has made me a little nervous about doing it but at this point its got to happen.
Can anyone give any tips in regards to replacing and or simply doing the zip tie mod? From what I've heard the zip tie is a quick fix but isn't long term so I was thinking about rigging up something more permanent. Prices on these new regulators are a little more than I was wanting to spend so I'd hoped on just fixing the one I have somehow.
The sound it is making now almost sounds like something is grinding against the window itself, its difficult to describe but is definitely not making the same noise it was before. Hope to tackle this within the next day or so.
Thanks guys!
