Default Can someone tell me what in the world happened!?

So I was driving with the windows down like I always do, reach my destionation, park, roll up my front two windows and my passanger window decided to I guess just keep rolling up!

My driver side window controls now only work for the driver and two rear windows. I can still roll the pasanger window up and down with the passanger controls and position the "unhindged" window into place so it looks perfectly normal. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do here? Its almost as if the window got disconnected from one of the brackets that keeps the window in place.

Looks like it came off the track or something. You will have to take off the door panel and inspect it. I wouldn't try and force it back in until you can see inside and see exactly what happened.

Ouch. Try simple steps first. Get that back in using your passenger switch. Then disconnect the battery for a minute. This will "reset" your switches. Then from each door(NOT from the driver command switches) roll each window down half way then back up. Once done cross fingers and seen if the driver side will roll up properly.
