So... my passenger-side rear window is stuck down. What is the best way of getting it back up? Do I need to remove the interior door panel? I tried looking on LexLS.com for a tutorial, but it doesn't seem they have one. I just need to get the window back up for now until I can figure out what's wrong with it, or until I get a chance to take it somewhere to be fixed.

If someone could walk me through the steps that would be AWESOME.

Had this happen to me a while back. Most likely the motor in the door has gone up. You WILL have to take the interior door panel off to get to the guts in the door. In my case, the motor had locked up, and when I called and even took the car to a few places, I was told I needed a whole NEW window actuator. Could not buy just the motor as it was a 1 piece assembly. Found the motor at a local junkyard, paid $25 for it and replaced it. Worked fine ever since. Anyway,, you will need to disconnect the motor from the actuator itself(bracing under the glass in order to push the window up(closed) by hand and then re-install the motor to keep it in the up position until you can replace. Would advise you get a friend to help with this, as dropping the window will give you more of a headache then you need tight now. Is only a temp solution, but is what worked for me.

Thanks a bunch for the info, trukn1, it's highly appreciated. I'll go give that a try.

Here's the lexls.com tutorial for removing the front door panel. I haven't had the rear off myself, but I'm sure it is very similar to removal of the front panels which I've taken off with ease by following this tutorial.
