I'm betting that if you run it up and down occasionally, it won't happen again. Be sure to let us know.

Remember to lube and you should not have any more problems with sticking.

One whole day and it is still working. I run the passenger window up and down every time I get in the car, and then several times per drive to make sure it's still working. I'm starting to get looks from people......"Why is that guy constantly running his passenger window up and down?"

They obviously just don't understand!!!

The regulator is a easily found part too! Search Ebay, NO NEED to buy a used one when a new one can be had for under $80 and no more than $100

Thanks,Matt
I did this repair in my garage last nite, following this tutorial

The guy in the video said it should take 45min, but it took me every bit of 2 hrs. Just follow the video!!!
