2008 Chevrolet Equinox Window Motor Regulator

Chevy Equinox

My driver’s side front door window will not roll up all the way. It leaves a gap of about 1/4″ at the top so when driving on the interstate it makes a loud whistling sound. If someone holds the window between their hands while I push the up button sometimes we can get it roll up that last bit. Thanks in advance for your help.



My first thought would be the window motor regulator assembly is faulty. The motor is working but the window is not. And the window regulator is a common failure part. I have taken the time to look up the part for the right front window(driver’s side).
