Default Window gets Stuck (with video)

During my "Too Late to Start Fixing Stuff Before Summer Build", I thought I would ask this question. I am taking off my door lock actuator to be fixed, and I thought I would try to diagnose why my window does not go all the way down. If you hold the button down it goes down a couple inches and then stops. No matter how many times I try this is all that happens.

Probably something in the regulator assembly binding up, cable off, etc. That didn't act like a bad motor at all. May want to R&R the regulator assembly and have a peek.

Is there a write-up on that somewhere?
