I have a 99 grand prix gt, and the driverside window does not work, but you can also hear the window regulator working or spinning it would be nice to know what to look for or even how to fix it before i take the door panel off. thnx
Noises are deceptive at best.
Until you pull the door panel you really can't be sure what it is.
It could be a rusted rail or the window fell off the rail , or, or,o or..you have one of them look and hunt problems.
Most window issues are easily fixed if you have the slightest mechanical apptitude, it won't be that hard.
I hope this helps you some
Thanks for letting FixYa.com...fix ya

The regulators and motor are very weak on this.cars ! best thing to do is buy a new window motor set and replace the old one. is very simple prosess . It only takes 2 screws to relase the.window and 3 to romove the motor.
I had problem with drivers window, would go down but not up. Repaced master switch on drivers door myself, $100. Had to take door panel off to trouble shoot fix. Usally if you can pull widow up with your hand it is the window regulator. Just had to replace both rear window regulators in my '99 GTP. I never use them but rough roads must be hard on the plastic over time. Up cable breaks out of regulator.
I had the same problem on my 99 Grand Prix SE. Window would not work.....then a buddy tried to pull it up by hand so I could at least have it closed and he ended up shattering it. Getting the new window, motor & regulator replaced was fairly easy.....but that wasn't the problem, it was the electric switch. $200 later it works.
