    there is a bearing that rides in a track that is mounted to the regulator, it usually wears at the mount and breaks off. Fix new regulator, or have it welded. either way you have to pull door panel, glass, and regulator. Plan on a full day of frustration.

      What L2 said... Isn't your battery in the original location? I have the hold down piece, you could borrow it to get through tech and return when done.. I don't need it anymore since I moved my battery, but want to hold onto it, just in case..

        well it wasnt as difficult as i expected. seems when i replaced the window motor and bolted in the new one i failed to add lock washers or loctite to the bolts and two bottom ones came off allowing the motor to swing out dropping the glass. quick fix with new nuts, bolts, and some loctite and its like new.

        larry id rather just get it fixed and not have to deal with it again. i appreciate the offer though

          Sounds like the plastic roller on the window regulator broke. You can replace them without removing the regulator.
