My 2011 JSW's left rear window is making funky sounds when opening or closing. Anyone have any ideas as to what would be the likely cause of this? When closing there is a scraping sort of sound.

Have an appointment with the dealer scheduled for Monday, but I hate to have them mess with it. Would prefer to fix it myself.

What's involved in accessing the mechanism? What's the likely cause?

thx....

No clue but it could be the upper window seal, something on the regulator, or motor. Here is how to access the mechanism on an older car to give you an idea of how they work, the JSW should be similar: http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/multi/window-regulator-repair-VW.htm

Mine also does that right rear window, worse going down then up

Just had it fixed. Apparently the seal wasn't properly seated. They pulled the panel and reseated the seal and it seems fine now.
