Rear Window Noise

Ok...so I noticed today that my rear passenger side window rattles when driving. I rolled it down, then up to make sure it was up tight all the way. When rolling up, when it gets near the top it makes a few clicking type noises. I tried watching as it was rolling up, but didn't see it binding anywhere..but that's kind of what it's sounding like.

Any ideas?

Time to take the door panel off. Most likely splines in the window motor/tape are grinding...

Ew...that sounds like something that I'll never be able to put back on right, or I'll break something...

Eric- you posted about cleaning some throttle body part on your lumina.

I think you can remove a door panel..

Yeah but plastic panels scare me. I just never have luck...always seem to break. I've removed door panels on the truck and Lumina before, but the HHR just has cheap plastic, and I'm afraid it'll break...lol

Haven't run across this, but has anyone noticed an air rushing noise from around the back hatch area??

Ha ha, thanks guys! I probably won't attempt this just yet... My dad is out of state, and I'd rather he be here just for backup help if I need it.

Thanks for the support!

It will rattle

You can probably get the panel off and on again, but it will probably rattle when it's put back together!
