I have a 2000 Dakota Club Cab. I have had a problem with my driver's side window since I bought the truck. I have had this problem fixed 3 times now (about every 2 years since 2000) and now it's happening again. When I use the power window buttons to lower the windows, the drivers side window will make it about 3/4 of the way down, then it starts to move really slowly and unless I physically push it the rest of the way down, it will get stuck. It goes back up just fine (does not slow down in the same spot on the way up), but make a terrible poping noise when it closes (this is a new thing, it never used to make a popping sound). If it's raining out, it goes down just fine, but if it's not wet out it will always slow down and get stuck after it goes about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way down.

Every time I take it in to get it fixed, they tell me that it's the regulator and the window track, one time when it was still under warranty they even replaced the motor. Why would it keep going bad? I have never had a problem with the passenger side.

 

not sure what it is but mine does the same thing...it came off the thing that pulls it down and pushes it up a while ago and i had to apoxy it back on and its better than it was but it still will go slow and shake sometimes but mine at least goes the whole way down.

 

WOW! mine does the same thing it just goes slow about half way up or down.. No popping noise though.
How is it fixed? a new motor?

 

i know someone with a 2000 QC and he doesnt have the problem. maybe it is the window regulator?

 

get a new track set and motor off ebay, could try some lithum grease on the tracks..

 

Mine is pretty much the same thing...except mine tends to wobble itself down. It's really slow and aggravating.

 

My brother's 99' dakota V8 5.2 has exactly the same problem at thesameside.

Can I fix it by myself if I get the parts?

Also can I get a repair manual?

Thanks.

 

mine does the same thing on both sides.. its anoying, but not anoying enough ti spend my HP money on it yet..

yes very easy fix

 

easy fix? yea I'm not so sure about that. I already removed my door panel a few times and had a look at the window. I'm not so sure how to even remove the window/regulator cuz it appears to be inside the metal.
