Clicking noise drivers window

Hello, when I buzz the window down, it clicks but not on the way up? Any ideas? Thanks Mike

Regulator is going out. Thousands of posts on this. Do a search. Careful taking off the door panel. Don’t break the plastic retainers. Don’t buy an eBay regulator. Buy oem. Mark the glass with tape so you know where to line it up.

You should read a good how to on this or watch a y-tube video. It will show where the screws are and how to remove the window and door lock controls without breaking the clips.

Many people have used the less expensive ebay regulators without issues. What are you marking with the tape? You can adjust the tilt in or out but don't need to mark anything.

I installed new regulators in both doors about 3 years age. Used inexpensive ones off eBay. No problems.
It's really not a hard job. Watch the videos.

time doesn’t matter. Cycles matter. eBay regulators last maybe 20-45 cycles.

Where do you come up with information like this? "eBay regulators last maybe 20-45 cycles" Considering all the different ones offered that is a pretty broad statement.

Wow! I must have gotten the cream of the crop. I drive my c5 every day. Usually roll down windows with Window Valet every time I get in which is several times each day. Both sides have certainly gone through hundreds of cycles.
