door "pop"

[patholland]

My passenger door makes a "popping" noise when it opens. Especially in cold weather. Any ideas? I am also having problems with the window regulator. Is this related?

most likely the window is not dropping a bit when you open the door and gets stuck on the channel. had this problem on mine, replaced the window regulator. there is a procedure here

Check if the window lowers approx. 1.5 cm. when the door handle is activated (inside and outside ) to open the door.

The upper edge of the window have to be completely free of the soft top.

I saw the price for the regulator earlier. I am probably going to make an order a little later.

I am not sure if the pop is due to the regulator though. The pop was heard mostly over the winter, and the window didn't start going bad until a few weeks ago.

It doesn't "pop" until the door is about 1/4 the way open.

Then check and see if the door hinge is loose.
