Another window thread Hey all, sorry for making this post, but I wasn't able to find anything in the search.
Back in october I swapped my passenger side motor for a new dorman unit. At the same time I did the autotrix window fix, and everything was fine.
Now I'm running into an issue where the window moves down just fine, but when I try to roll it up I get a horrible grinding noise. If I pull up on the glass while I roll up the window it rolls up just fine until it reaches the very top, where it gives me the grinding noise again (only much louder).
I checked and made sure the bolts holding the motor in were good and tight, and the teeth on the regulator don't look chewed up.
I'm about to go purchase a new regulator, but I'd rather not have to deal with replacing it. Anyone have any thoughts/suggestions?

Nevermind, I found the issue. Pulled the motor out and found that something internal's gone wrong. At one spot in every revolution of the gear it hangs up. Dammit.
