I hear the window motors in these go out like crazy. This one was just replaced 2 years ago, is it really time to replace it already? Window will roll up partly if I wiggle it. But it basically just makes this griding whining siund. Video attached below, let me know what you think. I tried searching but I'm not exactly sure if I have the same problem everyone else has

When you replaced the motor, did you replace the regulator?

I'm not sure if it was replaced or not. It was done at RPM motorsports by the previous owner. Some additional information I forgot to memntion. The guide rod was broke off and I replaced it. Is it possible the window somehow got "off track"?

It does sound like one of the nylon regulator wheels has slipped out of its track. I know it isn't easy, but attempt to inspect the tracks and see if the regulator has derailed itself.

So it ended up actually being the window motor. Apparently its only good for 2 years. I picked up a new one from auto zone, which has a "life time" warrenty. I've been careful to only roll 1 window up at a time while the car is running now.
