Default a window issue

I did a cursory search of sticky threads but didn't see what I'm looking for. My 05 C6 driver window is about halfway up. It will not go any further. It will go down, but it will not go up. I thought changing battery last week was responsible, but I cannot get it to go back to re-index the windows. And passenger side seems to work perfectly. Indexes and will go up and down with no issue. I had the regulator for driver's side window replaced about a year and a half ago. Any idea what is causing this and how to fix?

Looks like you need to check the window regulator. Sounds like it has failed again.

Disconnect the battery for a few minutes and try to set index again before throwing parts at it. I've had it mess up the index location before and stop halfway.

I was afraid of that. Not only expensive but getting tough to find now. All of my GM parts sites the window regulator for driver's side is either out of stock or discontinued. Great! OH well, guess I'll have to take the door apart and get started.
