2003 Marauder, power is going to the window, due to the fact that I can hear something working in there. Sounds like a rolling crunching sound. Just wondering if anything can get loose in there, or get off track. Didn't want to take off the door panel without knowing what I'm dealing with first. Any ideas?

Binding windows is a common Panther problem that was mentioned here quite frequently in the early days. Not so much recently. Try some lube in the window tracks and see if it helps. Otherwise, the window tracks/guides may be misaligned. Lube and alignment would be the first two things that I would check.

You need a window regulator.

Marauder has a cable type regulator. As he passenger window aeea the most use, it is not uncommon for the regulator cables to fray. The only practical fix is a new regulator. They can be bought both with and without the motor. Price is generally in low one hundred dollar range with the motor. Original regulator is secured with large diameter blind rivets which must be drilled out. They can be replaced with 1/4" dia hex head bols and locking nuts. I generally add Loktite. Have re[;aced a number of regulators on the Panther platform. Qiestions, please contact me.
Best of luck.
