Default Driver window acting up...

My driver window does not go done smoothly, like my passenger window. It goes down, but it is rough and seems to jump or stutters down the track. Is there an adjustment or is this a sign of things to come in my needing a new motor or full regulator unit?

You have a worn out regulator. Do a search here on the forum, there is a "How To" showing you how to replace the regulator. Good luck.

I would pull one of the rubber plugs in the bottom of the door and see if there are frayed cables on the regulator assembly.
If the motor works, I would not think the problem would be there.
Usually, the motor gets stuck and the window will not go down at all.

I just bought one from Gene Culley at www.gmpartshouse.com and he's got the best customer service.
