Hey guys.
I have a 2007 Silverado Classic. I ordered the truck with LS trim minus the power windows and locks. Today, I was in town at Hardee's getting some food, and when I rolled my drivers' side window down, the crank stuck, and then the glass dropped all the way down!!! Thankfully, it did not break the glass. When I got home I took off the door panel to investigate the problem. I found two cable ends just hanging loose, so I removed the whole regulator to check it out. It turns out that the cables inside the crank got frayed and bound up, thus causing the cables to dislodge from the tracks and letting the window drop. I managed to get it put back together enough to get the window to roll up. I am taking the truck to the dealer in the morning to try and get it fixed. It is still under warranty. My question is, will they hassle me because I had the door taken apart? Also, the vapor barrier on the door did not stick back all too well when I put it back together, will they replace it when and if they replace the regulator?? I hope so. Also, I noticed the other day that my window made a sound like a rubber band being "plinked" when you rolled it up, then this happened. The passenger side window is also making the same noise. Should I bring up the passenger window to the dealer? Please help.
