Power Window Grinding Sound - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

The passenger window is making a grinding sound when going down. Sound starts after the window is about 50% down. There is no sound when the window goes up. From what I have been reading, it could be a motor going bad. There is no damage to the glass.

Does this sound like the motor will fail? I have a 100K extended warranty on the car which is soon going to run out. The warranty states that it covers the part but only in failure. Does this count as failure? Seems to be a bit of a gray area since the part is failing but the it is still funtional...

Will be taking the car to Toyota but wanted to get hear some thoughts before I did that.

My 09 used to do that too but went away then sometimes it's back. Could be dirt got in there or something. Also, my passenger side window always rolls up slower then the driver (on the 09), but on my 2011 everything is the same.
