Default window won't roll up, but motor is good

I know, another thread by me. **** just can't stop happening to me this long weekend.

I had just got back from running some errands and I roll up my driver's side window. With about 2 inches to go i hear something break and fall inside my driver's side door. Now my window won't roll up unless i push the button and pull on it at the same time. I hear the motor trying, but all that happens is a clicking noise. Anyone know what it might have been?

No - your motor just came loose from the regulator. It could be that you threw a bolt connecting the two together or something like that. Often its an easy fix to just re-attach them.

Gotta get in there and take a look.
