Hello guys, my driver's side window wont roll down all the way. It goes down about 5-10 inches as you can see in the photo then it stops.
Also on the way back up it makes a pop sound. Any input on what is wrong? Help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Yup, there's a window cable inside the door that's normally secured to the metal door frame via a flimsy little clip. That clip has likely popped out and the cable is now interfering with the window's operation, pretty common issue on the NBs. Easiest thing to do is pop off the door panel and zip tie that cable securely against the frame.

^ Agreed ^

Mine was doing the same thing. Fixed it just like Rotor said.

Yep.... and if you decide to clip the harness back on to the door shell....use the elongated hole... I always for some reason go straight for the perfect circle hole nearby and keep scratching my head why the clip won't go in, lol.

See attached pic.

Thanks guys, the zip tie did the trick.
