Default Driver Window Noise

Whenever my driver window goes up, it makes a scraping noise at the last 5 inches or so of going up. It's not really highpitched like scrapping glass with a razor blade, but it's pretty annoying. What needs replacing to fix this? The window regulator? I just replaced the outside pads and the inside anti-rattle felts. O yeah it does it with the door open and closed and with the panel on or off, so it's not a panel screw...any ideas????

ive got my door apart right now and am replacing a bunch of the little parts. Is it leaving a scratch on your window? If not, it may be something other than the glass rubbing. I really am not much help for you, but good luck.

Last time I checked it wasn't scratching the glass, but maybe it's so slight that I don't even notice the glass touching something...I was just hoping someone else had this same problem and solved it...I did a search on the forum and there is a guy who had the same problem with the pass. window, but he never posted the end result...I tried contacting him but I had no success...thanks though

I know this is a really old post, but I'm wondering if this was ever solved? I am having the exact same problem.

99% of the time you hear that sound it's the window pads/ cushions that need replacing..If you don't replace them soon they will eventually scratch the glass....WW

Here is where to get them.....
