Hello All,
My rear windows went out. First the driver's side. (There's a faint hum, but no motor sound.) Now, about a year later, the passenger side window started randomly falling an inch or so by its self. The motor still turns, but no matter if I pressed up or down, it would only roll it down. Long story short... After arguing with it several times, it is now all the way down and I can't move it back up. I can't even pull it up by hand. It feels like something is holding it in place at the bottom. The motor still runs, and I can hear one of the tracks (I think) moving. It will go all the way up and down though without moving the glass or anything else at all that I can see. Pics attached. Any ideas on what the issue could be?
Also, does anyone know how I can just physically move the window into place (rolled up) till I have time to repair it?

Thanks much.

It's most likely going to need a new regulator/motor assembly, but try to re-sync the windows first. To do this, pull the fuses #32 and #33 (cabin panel) for a few minutes. This will reset the rear door controllers, so if this is a sync issue, it may help. Try raising the rear windows. If they move, then raise them fully, then hold the switch in the position for an extra 5 seconds. If not, then it's regulator failure.

I had a similar problem. I rolled down my right rear window and I heard it kind of grind and SNAP! It got stuck and $500 later, a new window regulator fixed the problem.

You don't necessary have to buy an entire window regulator, try first remove it and check what exactly is broken, there is a change that you can fix it with this kit (this particular one for left window) http://www.ebay.com/itm/322186303329?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I fixed mine about two moths ago.

Nice find on that repair kit - I knew someone made them, I never had to look for one myself, though.

Thank you Rudeney and Dzmitry. Awesome find on the refurbishing kit! I will try resetting via fuses soon as I can and let yall know. Work is busy right now, so I may have to cut out a piece of plywood to fit and paint it black just to get something to cover it. It seems like I should be able to just grab the glass and pull it up, but it wont budge.
