Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Window regulator passanger side seems to be about to go. will not go down when you open, makes noise on way down and you have to hold button to close or will auto open as if something is blocking it.
Should I go OEM or aftermarket? Took it to my local indy and he looked at and agreed says either OEM or aftermarket one is fine and he has used both with sucess. What do you guys think? My buddy replaced both his with aftermarkets and seem fine. Alos, replace just the one or do both while at it?
I didn't know we had an aftermarket option but am also very interested. My passenger window makes a cracking sound when it goes all the way down and also makes other strange noises periodically. I'm guessing it is about to go.
Many times its just a rusty pulley in the mechanism that causes the noise. Try this. Under the door are 4 rubber plugs, pull them out and look for two plastic pulleys. Squirt the bearings of the plastic pulleys with oil and actuate the window, repeat. If it doesn't work, well you wasted about 5 minutes of your life.
I am going to give that a try. The damn thing was working just fine this morning and at lunch started acting up :/
I just spent a bunch of $$ ordering all supplies for my 60k service so if I can even just prolong would be a win.
I had one go out about 8 months ago, and took it down to my local auto glass shop and they rebuilt it in about 2 hours and they charged me $100. It has worked without any problems
The regulator or the motor?
I think motor is fine in my case I am going to try the oil thing but of course it's freaking raining AGAIN in the damn "sunshine state" :/
