Default Does this sound like the regulator?

73 Corvette Convertible, has power windows.
Drivers window rolls up and sounds like a normal window.
The passenger side makes a repeated thumping noise, like something being dragged up steps quickly. The window stops 1 inch from the top.

Does this sound like the regulator or the motor?

Trying to narrow it down before I get in there and start replacing things. I'd prefer to not replace the motor if that's not the issue.

I'm wondering how you can narrow things down until you get in there and take a look? Could be regulator teeth or the teeth on the motor.
