I have been having the same trouble as most in that my driver side window tips and binds when I roll it up, Worse in cold weather as others have noted. Today my son drove the car and when he rolled it up the back came up to far and the window was trying to come out of the door.
So I got it back in right and spray siliconed the run channels and greased the regulator. While trying to see if that helped the regulator gave up the ghost and won't move the window even though the handle is turning the input shaft.
So after searching through many threads here I see the real problem has been the worn out run channel that in turn has put stress on the regulator and loosened the window were it bolts to the regulator. I found the posts about the # for the run channel and the site to look up Kia Pride #s to order from Four Green auto parts. I was able to find the run channel but am having no luck with the regulator (#KKY0159560E or KKY0158560E)
Edit: A Google search found these on the Four Green site for $27 bucks even though search on their site did not. Anyone know if they fit the Festivas for sure?
Also trying to find the screw mount bushings for the screws that hold the window to the regulator ( 4XMS08458502)
So far no other site I checked showed a new regulator.
Thanks in advanced for the help I know is coming my way.
