'98 Coupe, EX-L -- Passenger door window makes bad noise and won't go up (video)
Hello friends. It's been a while since I posted last.
http://www.kenton.org/window.avi
Anyways, if you can't here's what happens. It's a power window of course.
When I roll it up when it's all the way down, it's GREAT and error free until about 97% from the top. It starts making a TERRIBLE *thunkthunkthunk* noise and will not finish going up all the way.
The noise in the video is this *thunkthunkthunk*
I can also move the window back and forth (side to side) if I try to push on it with my hands. I can push the window up 100% of the way but it slides back down when the door is closed or something.
Cliffs:
- Windows switch works fine, door window goes up and down just fine.
- When window is ALMOST closed it starts making terrible noises and will not fully close.
- Window can be moved around with hands.
Does anyone have any ideas?

It sounds to me like it is slipping on the rail like broken teeth sound.
I would take the door panel and the plastic and roll the window up/down and look at the mechanism while doing so. You might have a better insight of what is going on.
