Pulling off the door panel to get a visual may help also if you see nothing holding up. It may need some cleaning and lubrication on pivot points. The window tracks get real dusty, scrub with a tooth brush, blow out as much dust as you can. I lube window tracks with some spray silicone, not much though.

There should be a piece of foam rubber between the glass and motor attached to the motor plus the regulator may be sloppy too It can be a real battle to quiet those doors.
