Default 69 power window won't go up

Does anyone know how to get the window up manually on a power window car? They start to go up then seem to get stuck.
Thanks,
Tony

The window is going down too far--just guide it up through the weatherstrip-its getting caught just under the edge-use like thin putty knife on each side of the glass as a guide

Can you see down inside and see what it is getting stuck on?

I had the same problem on my 73'
Pull the door panel and make sure all 3 bolts where the motor mounts to the door are tight and lined up.
You will be able to see the marks on the door where the flange of the old bolt was
Once they come loose it throws the whole setup off which causes the window to bind
This happened twice, the second time I used Loctite and it's been fine ever since

The window would start to come up about an inch or two then just stop dead.
Its worth a shot.
