Were you having this problem before you put the new regulator in?

before i put the regulator in the ball joint was loose and the window wouldn't work at all...so now it has improved somewhat

in addition to your new regulator, you need to replace the window channel. Once the windows start to come off track, they wear really hard on the channel. Replacing it should make it operate like new.

the channel is really simple although very tedious. you have to pull out your old channel and then work the new one into the groove which, after you get the hang of it, is pretty straight forward. You dont have to use tools for this part if i remember correctly. It is also important to make sure that the corner by the mirror is installed correctly and doesnt bulge out, it makes a bad seal and a bit of wind noise.
