My power window is making a clunking noise when I roll it up how do I fix it?

Answer 1

Not enough information for anything but a guess. As far as how you fix it goes, it requires special tools and a little skill and knowledge. You can probably get the knowledge from a book. You can probably borrow the tools from an auto supply store. They "rent" them for free. If you bring the tools back; you get your money back. The skill comes from being willing to try. Study carefully. Apply what you learn. Delve in. Don't be afraid to ask questions or get help.
The other option is to take it to a mechanic.

Answer 2

I had that happen to one of my past cars and found out that moisture got into the window frame and caused the gear to strip. Of course the gear was made from plastic for some reason... :( If you've left the windows down during any kind of storm or moisture environment, that may be the cause. Check with a mechanic or your dealership.... :)

Answer 3

this is only a good guess now, seen it in the past... on the bottom of the glass there is a u-shaped channel the glass sits in. if water gets in there it will rust & spread the channel open, causing it to catch on things when it goes up....does the window jump when it just gets past the clunk????

Answer 4

ford? they have plastic parts that shear between the window motor and the drive mechanism. they are to prevent cutting off an arm anything else hanging out the window when it goes up. ford sells a repair kit. many cars have plastic drive belts that will strip and not let the window go up or down. many older cars have teeth that can wear down or strip and prevent proper operation of the window.

Answer 5

It sounds like a bad regulator. The only way to fix it is to replace it.
