Driver Side Window Grinding Noise

JochenWoern · Mar 7, 2012

When rolling my drivers side window up or down, it sounds as there was sand in the window track based on the grinding noise.

When the window is all the way down and one hits a bump or badly worn pavement, there is a lot of rattle going on.

The window operates just fine and there are no other issues.

WHAT COULD IT BE?

Thanks in advance.

Mine was grinding too and turned out to be the regulator wires were frayed. Your situation may be similar. But if the window is loose, I'd check the mounting clamps. Take the door panel off and inspect the clamps that hold the window to the regulator. They use a bolt to tighten them to the window and have rubber pads in between to protect the glass. If the clamps are tight and okay, might want to inspect the wires on the regulator to make sure they're not frayed.

Sounds like the regulator!! Take the door panel off and take a good look at all the cabling and window clamps real good like chauncey mentioned!

Thanks very much guys. Now help the German out with the phrase "frayed".
