Creaking sound when my driver side window goes up

[BlackMamba]

Team. Whenever I raise my driver side window up, I get nervous that it will break down on me because the's creaking sound goin on. However, there is no hesitation goin up, just that $ sound. Anyone experience this?

Does it have sound when it's fully closed?

My money is on the new window regulator clip.

Nik, no, there's no sound when it's fully closed. there's no sound even if it's halfway open. I can hear the sound only when it is going up when it closes.
Mr bmw, is that clip hard to replace?

[mrbmwx5]

Not at all ...10 minutes top.

[Nik]

well, Mines making clicking sounds when it reaches the top. I should have replaced those clips when I had my all 4 door panels removed to insert LED lights. How about door clips? do they get ruined every time you remove panel? It costs $ each here. I ruined 100 of those til now.

Loose bolt, just tight it again will be alright, mine did the same couple years ago.

tmv, thanks for the step-by-step directions on the window issue. we appreciate it... but i don't think i have the ability to put everything back on after i dismantle it! haha! i'd rather leave it alone until it dies or something. it's not really doing any damage on me or the car... thanks man.
