What is the big black piece on the inside of the door, and do I have to remove it to check things out? It is sealed, so I am not sure.
I DO remember hearing a pop in my door last week, but didn't think much about it until now. I am thinking that zip-tie thing may have come out. Where exactly does it go, and do I need to remove the speaker to get it?

Okay, so I just got back into the window issue. I took the panel back off and nothing looks to be out of place. The black zip-tie piece is in place, which is what I thought the issue might have been.
So, now I find that the window is grinding on the way down ONLY if you raise it up all the way. If you raise it just a little, or almost all the way, it doesn't make any grinding noise on the way down.

I ordered a new regulator and did the replacement tonight. When I got my old one out, I found that the cable was off of one of the pulleys. Now I don't know if I needed a new regulator or not. My guess is that my old regulator is in a useable condition.
If you remember, I said that it seemed like there was some slack in the cable. The new regulator has zero slack. I am going to try to get the cable back on the pulley, check the slack and then I will try to make someone a really good deal on my old regulator and motor.

oh, I read the comment. And I thought I had a good look at each of them. But in my defense it's extremely hot outside. I try to do things quickly, before I dehydrate.
It's bad when the choice is: day time with extreme heat, or less heat and it's dark out and you have fight with the mosquitoes. Crappy decision.
