Recently, I performed everyone's favorite zip-tie fix on the front passenger window regulator after the clips broke loose and the window slid into the doorframe. It worked for a bit, sort of, but eventually failed. I say sort of, because the telltale grinding sound persisted.
I went head and bought these replacement clips and installed them today. They attach cleanly to the regulator rails.
Unfortunately, the grinding sound persists. Moreover, the window will only roll up about 75% of the way. It literally grinds to a halt. (This was the same fate that befell my previous zip-tie-fix-attempt). When I take the regulator out of the doorframe and attach the motor to it, there is no grinding. It only occurs when the regulator is in the doorframe.
So, clearly something is resisting the upward movement of the regulator. Any ideas? Does the regulator, perhaps, need to be "rolled down" to a certain position when it is reinstalled?
As always, your thoughts and suggestions are much appreciated.
TL;DR: Front passenger window regulator was grinding. Zip-tie fix failed (window ground to a halt while rolling up). Replaced broken clips (in lieu of zip-tie fix). Window still grinds to a halt at about 75% up.
