Default driver window help

hey guys so most recently i noticed that my driver side window in my 95 sc 400 started to make a funny clicking sound when rolling down or up.
well today i go to roll it dont and i kinda hear a small pop or click. i go to roll it up and only hear the motor going, but no window movement.
any word on a fix or parts i would need and cost?
i need this thing to roll up just in case it rains and when i go to work or school which will suck.
lmk
thanks cl

It sounds like your window regulator gave out. They usually run about $80 for the regulator itself.

Same thing just happened to my 95SC a week ago : ( I pulled off the panel and there is a small whie plastic piece about 2 inches below the window that is broken, from age, I guess. I read a thread where a member fixed it with JB Weld, but, I'd rather just buy it new. Anyone else have this problem?
Btw, anyone know how much the plastic piece cost? Thanks!!

yea i just read the thread as well
OLT seems to be a genius, but still trying to figure out how to remove everything and get down to business is the tricky part.

I fixed my drivers side window yesterday. Heard nothing but buzzing from the switch when depressed. I sliced open the rubber wire loom where the door hinge meets the frame and sure enough the white/black ground wire was split right in two.

Picked up some spare wire, connected the 2 ends and right away the Windows roll down! Hope this helps...I went a good 2 months with out windows. I know how much of a pita it can be. Hope this helps.
