Climate control blower motor

1997 CL w/53000 miles. When starting car in the morning the blower motor makes a grinding/rumbling noise that generates from behing the glove compartment. Has anyone else experienced this and if so how much to fix?

On another note, we recently had the driver window regulator replaced and my son has informed me that the window now makes a rattling/bumping noise when it is partially rolled down. When he hears this noise he can press up against the door panel and it will disappate. Anyone know what is causing this and how to fix without taking back to service dept.?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have a strange noise behind the glove box too. It started after I ran over a large brick going 30mph and is usually present when the fan is on. All these rattles drive me insane I'm thinking it something with the fan mechanism that was knocked loose when I hit that massive brick.

I have the same type of rattle in my '99 Prelude. Turns out that it was the electrical clip that the moonroof motor attaches to. It came loose from its 'holder' and was bouncing around tapping against the liner. Required pulling liner down and reattaching the clip.

Well, the blower motor noise was not duplicated at the service dept. The window noise was caused by the window banging against the window rail inside the door. A temp fix was to but felt tape between the glass and railing. I know this won't last long - tape will fall off. Anyone have a permanent fix for this?
