driver side window grinding when going down.

Anybody know how to fix this? I tried searching the forum for 10 mins came up with nothing.

Only when its going DOWN. up is SILENT. down= grinding noise.

might wanna open the door. as in take the door panel off and watch it....see if something is in the way or hitting when it goes down, then while your in there try re greasing/lubing the track and see what you can discover

yup, I too have the problem. When I put a little bit of tension on it while going down (press down on window a bit while it rolls down) it goes away... Keep update on your results, cause I just got used to it

yeah mine does this as well, i thought about taking the door panel off, but i figured i'll just wait till it eventually goes out, since it seems to be working fine right now, just alot louder then the other windows lol..
