Default Passenger Window noise

Whenever my passenger window goes up, it makes a loud "sccrreeeaachhh" in 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 damn annoying. What needs replacing to fix this? The window regulator? I just replaced the outside pad (the one with felt on it) over the summer, so it's nice and fresh.

I had the same thing on my 86, after removing the panel about a 6 times, I finally figured out it was a screw that backed out in the outer trim. The ones you just replaced on the outside of the door window. Check them first, especially the ones toward the front of the door around the mirror.
Good luck

ah, ok. Was it scratching your window? I don't see any scratches on mine. And the noise seems to be coming from the rear (around the door handle) more than the mirror area. thanks.

It didn't scratch, just screached. It's something pretty easy to see if it's happening. Does it do it with the door open also?
