Q: Window makes popping sound after window motor is replaced
After replacing the driver’s side window motor, it is making a slight popping noise everytime I open it or close it. It didn’t make this sound before I replaced it, so I’m wondering what I did wrong in the installation. I installed a rebuilt A1 Cardone window motor when replacing the old one. Are there any adjustments that I need to make that will stop the popping sound?
