Default Passenger Window Problem!

This is the weirdiest thing ever happened and I hope someone have an idea. I just sat in my vette going back home opened the driver window and then clicked the passenger window nothing the window didnt even move so i tried to open it from the passenger panel still nothing. I turned off then started it again thought might be a glitch but nothing the passenger window doesnt even move. Any ideas or should i go to the dealership.

Thank for any advice

While depressing the 'window down' button take your first and sharply hit the inside handle on your passenger door (with the door closed). This works for me. This is a common problem on these cars -- mine has been acting up for over a year, and so far this trick has worked every time. Have to be willing to give it a sharp blow though.

You just have to find the sweet spot.

Yep ... just make sure you are also holding the 'window down' button down while you smack the handle (or, the 'sweet spot' as corvettedoug says).

You need to find the sweet spot! Another option is to remove the door panel, and using a handle of a large screwdriver tap (a hard tap) where the motor is mounted (with the down button depressed). If it's clicking I think all you need to do is bust it loose. There has been once or twice the door handle trick didn't work for me and I had to go to the screwdriver handle method. Give it a shot -- good luck.
