2004 Corolla le - passenger side front window is making clicking noise everytime it is opened and closed. This feels as if something is stuck in the window. The window does not slide smoothly.
The driver's side automatic window on my 2004 Toyota Corolla had been making noise when used, and today it popped out of place completely and will no longer operate.
