    So a quick rundown-
    The other day I was driving in town and I heard a random loud pop in my passenger side door, 2 different random times. It was a chilly morning, and warmed up as the day went on so I thought maybe it was metal expanding or something stupid that generally doesn't make sense to begin with. Today, it was around 80 degrees so I went to manually roll my passenger side window down with the crank, and it only goes down about 2/3 of the way down, before it feels like the crank is binding up. I'm sure I could force it but I don't want to break anything. Vehicle is a 08 single cab prerunner if it makes any difference. Tried searching, can't come up with any ideas...has this happened to anyone else OR does anyone know the fix? Thanks.

    Edit-took off door panel-found that the little channel that the window rides in on the inside of the door somehow bent recently, the "door check" somehow randomly came in contact with it. Not sure how my door would've bent this piece, but just incase anyone else has this issue, it's probably this. It hasn't been in an accident recently as I have owned it for a while now.IMG_6396.jpgIMG_6400.jpg
