window regulator/motor problems...HELP!

for the past few weeks my drivers side window has been acting wierd. one day it works, the next day...not so much. but sometimes a little tap to where the window motor is located would make it work. but a couple of days ago, it was a beautiful day. so, i decide to roll the window down. and then a horrible grinding noise came from the window and i went down maybe an inch. so thats where i am at with my window. i was just wondering if anyone one else out there has had the same problem or not. and if so what did they do to fix it. i called the dealer up and and for the window regulator it was $140 and for the window motor $80. any info would be nice. thanks for reading. hope we can come to some kind of solution with out gettin charged out the ... for a new compoents.

You're hosed...

the sucker is toast. But you don't have to pay dealer prices. Motoring Speed is selling OEM parts at a substantial discount. PM Gnatster for more details. It's his gig. I think his vendor name is MotoringSpeed_Gnat but I"m not posative.....

Tell him Matt sent ya!
