Have you replaced the motor @ all????
Do you know if it has been replaced?
IF so, sounds as though one of the little bolt/nut's have came loose & the motor is hanging there... EASY FIX!!
Take the inner skin off the door and take a look...
If it has never been replaced then it will have factory rivets that hold the motor in place... If it has been rplaced you will see where holes have been drilled and replaced with screws...
Get you a new motor @ Auto Zone... Lifetime warranty... Do it yourself..
Good luck.. hope this helps.

well if the motor is still making noise, but not moving at all, i would suggest like pewtery2k said and venture a guess that the factory rivets may have worked there way out. and the motor is just kinda hanging there...my passanger side window did this about a month ago.
when you buy a new motor, it comes with 3 hardened bolt/nuts to hold the motor onto the assembly
it's definatly a pain in the *** to swap out the window motors in these cars. my step dad and i did a few in my parents 30th TA, when one went in my SS i took it to a body shop cause i didn't wanna mess with it...that and girlfriend at the time's family owned the shop = no labor and cost on parts...cha-ching!

Great GM quality! My driver side was freezing up every once in a while, so I had it fixed. Now my passenger side takes about twice as long to go up as the driver side does, so back to the shop this fall for warranty repair. Also have something wrong with shocks/suspension. It makes a creaking noise in the rear right tire well area, but I want to aftermarket parts there soon, so I just tolerate that. And my fuse panel keeps falling off all the time by the driver side of dashboard.

ive replaced my passenger side window 2 times already. the 1st time was only at 22k miles. when you get a new window motor make sure you get one with a lifetime warranty cause they will go out again. the wierd thing is that my driver side hasent went out yet. close to 45k miles on it.
