GSL-SE Side Window

The passenger side window (electric) has been getting slower over the last few years. Finally, it stopped going up and i noticed that it isn't in the track. (It is away from the reach track. If you guide it with your hand, it goes up completely, but obviously that isn't a solution. Does this sound like a window regulator? Could it just be a regulator screw or nut?

I don't have time or patience to repair it myself, but I'd like to get the part before taking it to the mechanic.

Thanks for your help!!

mine did the EXACT same thing.

pop the window back on the track and spray silicone spray in the felt channel. that'll help it slide easier.

also remove and clean the power window switches. shine up the copper contacts with sandpaper or steel wool.

what solved my electric window woes was finally switching to manual windows. saved some weight too!

Thanks! I guess I'll have to end up pulling the door panel anyway, just to check.
