Window regulator makes a "creaking" noise, or the window is hard to roll up or down.

CORRECTIVE ACTION

1. Remove the window regulator.

2. With a slot head screwdriver, pry up on the sector gear cover to create a 0.5 mm clearance between the cover and the gear rack.

Regulator Shaft:

3. Turn the regulator shaft with the window crank until the sector gear disengages from the rack. Select a socket that clears the sides of the main pivoting rivet, support the underside of the regulator, then tap the socket to loosen the pivot.

Two Arms:

4. Turn the regulator to check the feel of the sector gear against the gear rack. If it binds or feels rough, repeat step 3.

5. Turn the regulator over. Select a socket that just clears the square rivet holding the two arms together. Support the rivet from the underside, then tap the socket to loosen the center of the two arms.

Sliding Surfaces:

6. Remove the coil spring from the regulator and pack its windings and contact surfaces with grease, then re-install it.

7. Lubricate all sliding surfaces, then reinstall the regulator.

8. Adjust window fit, as necessary, according to instructions in service manual.
