Passenger Door Window Bind/Loose??
Went to roll up the passenger window and it sounded like it was in some sort of bind about half way up.
Rolls down fine.
To roll it up, I have to start it about an inch or two, then grab the front of the window nearest the A pillar and pull the window up about 1 inch of slack and then actuate the motor to roll the window up the rest of the way.
Does this sound like a bad regulator or just something that vibrated loose?
I'm going to tear into it tonight.
Thoughts?
Suggestions?
Conclusions?

Yes bad regulator. Plastic bit that holds tension on the cable will fail or any other failure in the regulator causing cable failure.

The harness adapter is a joke. Basically a pigtail with crimp connectors. Crimp connectors aren't my style. I disassembled the connector/terminals from the pigtail and installed them onto my existing harness.
