    Either you have a rail that popped out of place, or a line is getting caught, or the rubber around your window is warped.

    Check all those.

    If that doesn't work, then odds are good there's a short in the motor windings. It happens as they get older. If a 7g is anything like an 8g as far as the motor goes it's not a hard thing to replace.

    Do u know how to replace the motor... I might have to look into that. Cause My roll up very slow and when it rains it sometimes stops

    A new motor for a 8g installed is almost $280 the motor itself is like $150 or something i cant remember. You want to use lithium grease in a spray can to lube the tracks. Lube the tracks before you do anything because it can make a huge difference.

    halfway crooked

    i think i have the same problem. my driver side window comes up straight but halfway it goes crooked then i have to hold it so it goes up straight how can i keep it from doing this over and over again. I roll down my windows everytime i ride out since my a/c doesn't run without making my car idle sluggish.

    Sounds like the regulator bolts are loose. That or the arms are bent. If the arms are bent then the only option is to relplace it. Trying to unbend a bent regulator arm is useless.
