My passangers side window has been making that same 'clunk' sound, only when its all the way down, also.

I replaced the motor myself a year & 1/2 ago, worked fine, no clunks.
Until about 6 months ago, I noticed it. Motor is still running fine too.

I took the panel off to examine inside, and I have no idea what I'm looking for. I didnt find anything wrong, but its hard to see back down in there.

Now I dont remember if I double checked the screws that replaced the rivets - do you think thats whats off?

You should be able to take yours back to the dealer for the fix, I'd like to know what they said was wrong, and making that cluck! let us know if you can.
