When i roll down the passenger window its fine, but when i roll it up its fine untill it gets all the way up then it makes a click click click sound like the regulator is shot or something does anyone know what the problem would be?

The nylon gear for the worm drive is worn out, you'll need another motor assembly.

... and let me tell you, it's a pain in the butt to install.
Doable, you'll just need a fresh supply of profanity.:lol:

Alright cool, i bet their not to cheap either. how long you think it would to install...

About 30 min depending on how proficient you are. If it's your first window job, just take your time. And be very carefull of the door handle trim, it can be a pain sometimes.

I can't remember how much it cost to get a motor on Ebay, but I don't remember it being prohibitively expensive... and a tool I definitely wish I had... either a REALLY stubby screwdriver, or the one that has two ends that are bent 90 degrees away from each other.
