sounds like the motor has quit or is quitting. Try slamming the door a couple of times.

same thing just happened to me on the passenger side window. Sounded like the motor just stopped when the window was only halfway up. I took off the door panel to test the motor....turned out one of the screws holding the speaker grill in place went all the way through and the window was getting caught on it. I would just make sure that nothing is blocking the window's path (window seals, screws or whatever) before you spend the $$ on a new motor. Soon as I freed the window, all was well.

Default window switch

Had the same problem with my 87.
Bought a new switch from Mid-America (cheap) and it cured the problem.
