Power Windows Clunk (Also locking Issue)

Recommended Posts

My passenger side window was making a noise that tells me it needs some additional lubrication. My driver side window was working perfectly until the door slammed with window almost up (about an inch gap) and it now makes a horrible clunking noise as it starts to decent and a lesser noise when it reaches the bottom of it's travel. I am going to remove the door card on both sides. What should I be on the lookout for?

 

I have an unrelated issue in the passenger door lock that I may try to fix at the same time. If I lock the doors with the switch on my drivers doors all doors lock and the passenger side immediately unlocks. this doesn't happen every time but about 95% of the time. If it works and I stall the engine, starting the engine immediately unlocks just that door. If I lock the door externally it never happens unless i turn the key twice and then again only that door unlocks. Is it likely this is some sort of sensor in the passenger door or a problem with master control on driver side? (No remote locking on mine)

Just removing the door cards won't allow you to access the lock units or the window mechanism (except the motor). You'll need to remove the ancillaries carriers that are behind the door cards. http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/119359-removing-the-ancillaries-carrier/

 

The carriers are either pop riveted or bolted on depending on year of the car. If they are riveted you will need to drill out the rivets and obtain new ones.
