Default Frustrated - Seeking Help With Stuck Window

Hello,

Drivers side window stuck midway up/down. The motor will make that grinding and chunking noise if i try to roll it up or down but no movement. I cannot physically move it other than tipping it forward somewhat.

Guessing regulator issue and all that. Also found a broken clip inside the door.

For now, all i'm seeking to do is to be able to get the window to the top/have it be closed and i'll put some pieces of wood or shims in until I can get it fixed.

I've read posts on here and other sites and watched a ton of youtube videos..i still don't get it - there's nothing to unscrew that my hand can get to, at least with the window half way like this....nothing to pop out that I can see etc.

I'm sure there is, that's just my frustration talking. Just looking for some specific advice to point me in the right direction. I've over-researched this issue and am back at square one with not knowing what to do.

Attached pics and here's also a link to a video to my google drive:

Thank you!!

Default You need new sliding blocks

I got two of these sliding block from the dealer and paid way too much for them ($20 each). They were the trick though. I used small channel locks to clip the regulator arm to this block. I think I had to remove the speaker also.
Cramped space, but it is not too hard.
