i just had an 02 come into the shop same sorta issue cept hers was manual windows and apon taking it apart one of the tabs that hold the window onto the rail had broken, but this one was hard to go up so being power it may be tight ya just dont know it, i dunno my best guess would be to take it apart and search around before the big buck problems rear their ugly asses...

Yah was about to tear apart and I see some screws on the end of the door and was wondering if this is where there may be an adjustment or what. O.K. I'll take apart tomorrow, ugh...

Went to dealer and for $280, tightened clip that holds window to power gizmo on both sides !! I was warned by someone that tightening these is big bucks when over tightened.  Mrs. is happy, thank heavens....
