Sounds like the inner window guide is comming/came off. If you look down into the door you should see a strip of felt that pushes against the inside of the glass. Over time (or in my case heat) the glue can loosen that holds the felt onto a rubber strip. When the window rolls down, the front portion loses contact w/the strip, which can allow the glass to dig under the felt when it returns up. Once the felt has come out of place, the rubber will then be "grabbed" by the glass. Going up it makes an unpleasant noise, going down the rubber will be pulled out of place. Since the rubber strip is attached to a metal bracket, the scratches on the glass may be caused by the sharp bracket rubbing on the glass as it goes up and down. -Robert vin 6585 --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxx, <sean333@xxxx> wrote: > One of my power windows is making a grinding noise whenever it goes up or > down.
