I had a similar problem with a camaro I used to have. When it will go down a little then stop, it is the motor. I would try again after a couple hours or so and it might go up some more. You might have to take a couple trys to get it all the way back up, then replace the motor.

This is a fairly common problem and it seems to be down to cheap components.

Here's one for the window motor replacement:

This is a great one by Bakersfield that shows how to replace the relay:

Either one should fix the problem.
