Default Power windows/help!

Everything has been working great on my 03 until the temp got really hot yesterday. When I got in the car after work, I hit the switches to roll down the windows and noticed the passenger side window rolled down about 3 inches and stopped. Hit the switch again and it went on down and I didn't give it another thought until today. The window will only roll down about half way. It did roll up without any problem. No noise like something is loose or grinding. Is this an easy fix or do I need new hardware?

Both my regulators went bad. They would stop a few inches down and you would have to work them to get them to go down, but mine were making grinding clunking noises, my cables were bad. I got the reman'd ones off E-bay for $205? w/$60 core return refund. Remans work great and that guy is real good about the refund. Changing the regulator isn't that bad, takes a couple hours. There's nothing to grease or oil to fix the problem, your regulators are probably on there way out, or if you haven't rolled your windows down, may be corrosion on the armature that may clear up with time.
