Hi thanks for any advice. Firstly, about a week ago the drivers window started making a very audible rubbing/scratching sound when raising or lowering. There's no mark on the window,but somethings wrong.The other thing started about two days ago.( With the door closed) about 2 seconds after the window reaches the top, it drops about 3-4 inches then stops. To keep the car secure I can edge it almost to the top and it stays there. Don't know if the problems are related. Any ideas? Cheers, Jason

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.

Sounds like the window regulator has gone bad. Rick 99 996C4 87 944S
Just as a thought, try to relearn the window operation...it's in your manual and it's worth a try. GL
+1 on windows regulator, all the windows on my 2 old bimmers started with this kind of rubbing/screaching noises before the cable will completly cease to move (jammed-up). You could DIY this, not too hard. Check yours before you cannot close your windows in the middle of a rainstorms or at the mall. Good-luck....
+1 on the window regulator. Hand the same issues. It is a DIY
Thanks everyone!
