Rear Passenger Window Problem

[Tentsontop]

I know it's just a coincidence that an hour after showing my 4yr old how to roll her window up and down it's acting up. It stops about an inch from the top and clunks (metal on glass sound) when I try to roll it up or down. Doesn't sound good. Any ideas on what the problem might be? I'll be opening it up tomorrow some time. Thanks.

Did you try and move it side to side by hand to see if it got off its track?

Mine has done this twice on the drivers side rear window. The rolling mechanism falls out of the track when the window goes halfway down. Pull off the panel, and the plastic and you'll see it easily. I'm not sure if there's a good fix or part missing? It's kind of annoying but very easy to fix. hope this helps.

Thanks for the help. It had jumped the track. I put it back on and lubed it a bit to smooth up the action. It looks like the cause is the track is pulled toward the B pillar over time due to the sliding action which enables the arm to overextend past the track eventually popping out. Looks like mine has popped out in the past so I tapped the track/rubber back to where it should be on the glass to keep the arm/wheel from popping out. Mine had moved ~1/2 an inch. Nice and smooth now and the arm is well within the track at all times.
