About 6-8 months ago my driver's window started making the death crack while running up and down, so I ordered a new regulator and put the fix on my to-do list. As often happens, I didn't get to it very quickly, so time passed, during which I almost never used the window.
Last weekend I finally got around to installing the new regulator- but the window isn't working. It seems to be sticking, I assume from all that time not being used? Down will sometimes work, but up nearly always needs a lot of help. I tried cleaning out the window tracks, lubricating, even tracked down some gummi pfledge based on threads on several other forums I've run across.
No luck.
Had anyone had a similar problem? Should I try to tear the door down further for cleaning? Is it likely my motor is going bad and it's not lubrication at all? Am I missing something else??
