Default Power Window Help Needed

The passenger side window in my '86 vert goes down halfway and stops. If I nudge the glass, it goes down fully. Any idea what's wrong and the fix?

I understand that year employs some kind of "ribbon" in the window lift, which can go bad and cause problems. There are replacement ribbons available as well as conversion kits to the newer style window lifts, i.e. sans ribbon.

Open up the door panel and see what is up in there.

Open it up and have a look. Run it up and down a few times and see what you see. And Ecklers will probably have the parts if you need some.
