While the panel is off it would be a good idea to carefully check the area in the square including the portion just out of the photo that bends up toward the glass.
On two doors the sheetmetal in this area is prone to cracking. When the window hits either stop and motor is still going the regulator portion held by the single bolt sort of twists and flexes the metal. Cracks can appear anywhere from the bolt upward and often starts at the glass opening.
If you find anything suspicious add some sort of stiffener bar across the panel to reduce the flexing. Needs to extend a fair distance on either side of the bolt. A 3 ft long piece of 1/8 flat stock from the hardware store works well if it has a few screws spaced across the length to hold it.
