    Hi
    On Friday, had both windows open and when came tried close them.
    Only passenger side closed properly, but driver side only closed half way.

    I can hear the motor going UP but glass is not moving. So I tried to Pull the glass Up as I am pressing the button. So that's how I closed it.

    And I test it again
    1. Going down :- glass goes down fully but motor still going while its already down.
    2. Going up :- glass only goes to half way, I can pull the glass up while pressing up button.

    Any suggestion, advice before I pull the door card to have a look.

    Thanks

    Pull the door card and have a look.
    The window regulator is most likely shagged.

    I fixed mine with a used window regulator, and took the opportunity to re-grease all the sliders and renew a few of the nylon rollers which keep the window on track.

    Thanks for the info Mitch.

    In my case the motor itself was dead, so I changed it with secondhand one. Now it works like brand new.

    Cheers.
