rear drums have not been machined properly...they cut a little "screw thread" into the drums causing this thup thup...they are stickin' when they hit bottom~ (if you've got the drum brakes at the rear)~ get them machined properly by a competent brake monkey~

I have a 200 Ford Windstar. The driver side electric window will not go all the way up. It goes down just fine. When rolling it up it to about 3 inches from the top and then I hear a rapid clicking sound in the window area. I can take my hand and bring the window up so rain will not come in. But I have to lower the window by hand about 3", until It reaches the part that holds the window and make it go up and down. Help would be much appreciated. 3 Answers
