    Help Window won't go all the way up anymore

    Today, Driver side window stops about 2 inches from the top, goes all the way down fine, but won't go up and "one-touch" doesn't work going up either.

    Any ideas? Regulator and motor work fine.

    The switch? Thats it? Would it make any noise when you tried to roll up the window? Mine makes a noise like its working but sometimes will get stuck either all the way up or all the way down. I jiggled the window a little and pushed the button and it went up.

    Well here's what I found after pulling apart the door panels, checking the regulator and the little "white" clips that go into the window rail.

    ......The problem was not in the motor, regulator or the window switch.

    It was the little button inside the door lock (the one on the frame). It's not very obvious, but there is a little plastic button inside the lock..If you push it in the window goes up...for some reason I guess it malfunctioned yesterday and now after pushing it in a couple times the window adjusted to the right height and works fine now.

    Thanks for your help..
