Default Window - What the hell ?

Last night I was in front of a club and I wanted to holla at a girl. I had to get my window down so I hit the switch. It was slower then before, dunno why... I turned off the radio cuze it was loud and listen to the window mecanism...When the window coming up, i hear a "crack" rolling in the driver door !!! I was like what the hell ?!?!?!!??!!!!!

Can I know what cuze that sound and why my window goes up/down slower ?

The camry's have fragile window regulators, I've replaced quite a few, if yours is a similar design, I would guess it is getting ready to break. if it breaks, your widown might not stay up, so check it out before it breaks

I bet you made a lasting impression on the girl... The last time that happened to her, the guy was driving a mid 80's brown van

Most likely the window regulator( cable) is broken. This's very comon on the ES and SC, and you can just replace the regulator assembly without motor.
