Default Repetitive Knocking Sound Opening Power Window

Hi everyone....noticed for some reason that my driver side power window is opening, but there is a "knocking" sound that occurs every second as it's going down - it's repetitive and doesn't sound to pleasant...

Does anyone know what this could be and how can fix it?

Record the sound and upload it.

But just offhand, most sounds that occur when opening a power window boil down to a new regulator.

Bad motor or a something getting in the way. Take off door panel and youll see it. Door panel held in with just a few screws.

Yikes - how much does it cost to repair or buy another regulator?

The regulator itself is 944 537 941 01, $447.25 on Pelican. The motor is 477 959 123 A, $141.75 on Pelican. Luckily, replacement should be one of the quicker, easier DIY jobs.
