Default car window wont close!

its like 3 degrease outside and my driver side window wont close and i cant pull the window up! idk what to do. I most likely will take the door interior off and see what could have caused it. Could it be just ice thats pinching something or idk.

Can you hear the motor? Does the window still go down and just not up?

Window could be getting caught up on the trim and sticking. If the regulator is OEM, then your regulator might have gone out.

Am I missing something? If you propped the window up why is your door panel still off?
