Default 1956 Problem w/ passenger side window

I have not had occasion to roll up the passenger side window on my ’56 in quite a while. When I tried it this past weekend it went up about 40% of the way, and seemed to hit an obstruction.
I pulled the door panel off, and I’m not finding anything in the rear of the door that would appear to be the cause. Access panels on the front of the door are much smaller, and not located where I can see the window crank gear. Not seeing/feeling any obvious issue in the front.
My recollection is that this window worked fine in the past. Any thoughts on what is going on or where I need to probe?
Thanks

See if one of the rubber bumpers has lodged itself in the horizontal guide rail.
