Window sticks, wont go up.

My driver side window seems to jamb. Somewhere in the mechanism something is binding up. I really cant see where its binding up through the access ports. Is there any non-destructive way to get at the window mechanism? Or am I stuck buying another door?

Pull the door panel and look through the openings with a flashlight and small inspection mirror. Look to see if the window regulator is binding in the rails, see if it is lubricated, check the front of the window where it goes into the rubber piece. Your power window(if you have them) motor could be on its last gear.

Hmmm... found part of the problem. Seems the previous owner already took it apart. Some of the bolts he put in place of the rivets had come loose. Also put some light oil on all the pinned connections along with greasing the tracks and it seems to do something resembling going up and down again without sounding like a ship running aground.

How true, how true. Or even worse, a blizzard and no heater.
