My automatic driver's side window makes a popping noise every time it is lowered. It may not be aligned or installed properly and I am afraid it will shatter.

After reading about the gm/toyota recall of the power window bolts becoming loose on 2003-2004 pontiac vibes, I took off the inside panel of the driver's side door. My wife had been complaining of the window catching. After taking off the panel, I found the power window bolts to be loose. The 2003-2004 power window recall needs to be expanded to 2005.
Front power window regulator problem ; front driver-side window is loose within regulator ; taken to dealer in fall 2006 for repair within warranty period ; repair only temporarily corrected problem (for less than 2 months); situation has only gotten worse since; author of this complaint believes window likely could separate from regulator in short term leading to compromised occupant protection or in worst case sudden distraction which could cause driver to lose control of vehicle; complaint writer is aware there is a recall for model year 2003 and 2004 pontiac vibe vehicles for failure of window regulator retention fastener.
Driver's side front window shattered, hitting driver while traveling at 55 MPH. Damage to driver's side of car. Replaced glass with new, repainted side of car.
The drivers and passenger side power windows in my vehicle have been popping and catching in my car since I bought it. I took it to the dealer under warranty and they said it was normal. It has ruined my window tint on the drivers side and I as well as having the drivers side shatter on me one time. I am afraid this will happen again as it is still doing the same thing. *tr updated 10/24/07
Drivers side window pops when raising the window to its fully closed position. It sounds like the glass is cracking or breaking. Its not shattered, but I feel that it will one day. It does not happen every time the window is raised; usually happens approx. 50% of the time. The passenger side window exhibited the same symptoms. However it was shattered by a burglar and was replaced. Since that time, no popping sound has been heard. I would replace the drivers window proactive, however the cost is greater than $250.00 usd.
On saturday july 21 the rear window of my pontiac vibe (2005 with 72500 miles) blew up. There was a high pitch sound about 5 seconds before the event and then my window just shattered. I have all of the parts to the window, in case you could tell me who I can take the device to determine if there is a defect.
We bought a new pontiac vibe in april. On a trip tocleveland we found out it is not safe. There is not enough visibility in the rear because of a poor design. I had to avoid 4 potential accidents. The driver cannot see others approaching in ather lanes at high speeds. I complained to gm, but they have ignored me. I also complained to you in april. Has anything beed done?
