Default Dilemma Please Help!

So my window regulator gave out on me. I currently have a 2" clamp holding the window up, problem is that it doesn't clear the top part of the door panel, which means there's a crack in the window and it won't stay all the way up. I was hoping someone here has gone through this before and can advise something better to hold up the window for about a month until I can save a few bucks to buy a new window regulator. Only restriction is that it would have to come off. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Take the door panel off, cut a piece of wood 1x1 or 2x2 and wedge it between the bottom of the window frame and the inside bottom of the door. You may need 2 on either end. I did this once on a different car and it worked okay until I could fix it.

Take a look at the forsale section you should be able to find a new regulator.
