my Drivers side window has difficulty rolling up and down. it will move on its own, but it *hangs up* in 3 different spots and the motor does this Rat tat tat tat tat Ratcheting noise.
Loose Clutch? Bad Motor? Window guides Messed up? What do you think?
Help!
Thanks in advance!

Sounds like a toasty motor to me.

Ratcheting noises are usually gears skipping...

What about for really slow windows?
Mine are crazy slow, and it's starting to annoy me.

Crazy slow means the motor's probably worn out. My passenger side takes longer to roll up than any other window, so I don't use it very much just in case it dies and my window is stuck down
Ratcheting noises probably means the regulator is coming apart. It would surprise me, because our regulators are gear-driven, so it's hard for them to fail. But I dunno what else it could be.
