The other day when I was opening the drivers side window the window appeared to jam then I heard a dull snap n' pop. The window opens and closes just fine but I now hear a rattle when the window is down and slam the door....

Any ideas before I tear it apart? I've been meaning to take it apart soon anyways to replace the door lock actuator...

TIA!

the clips that hold the window to the arm inside the door can crack and come off. There is more than one, so for a while it will continue to go up and down, but kind of at a weird angle. Eventually the other clip will break too, or the window will slide out of the track. It's really easy to fix, all you need are the new clips, which are cheap. You can take the interior panel off and get at the parts you need to change.

In my case, that solved the issue.
