if urs is like mine, then it needs a new regulator. it goes down (by the button and on its own) but wont go back up. do what i did and wedge some stuff in the sides of the windows and just tell people not to put it down. or, get a haynes manual and buy a regulator and replace it. i heard its easy, but i still have stuff wedged in my window....

The rear ones are pretty easy. Get a new regulator (minus motor) on Ebay. Next you will need a few metric tools. Using a screwdriver pry off the top of the inside door handle. You should see a couple of holes with a large Philips screw at the bottom of them, take these out. Next remove the speaker grille and the speaker and it's mounting bracket ( if it has one ). Next remove the small screws around the outside of the door liner with a hex wrench. Unscrew the door lock button ( black on top of door liner ). You should now be able to use the handle and pull off the door liner. The switch can now be unplugged from it's mounting.Remove the plastic/foam liner sheet.Look inside the door and you will see a contraption that looks like a load of bowden cables, attached to this is the motor, slide the wiring plug off the motor.Move the window to a position where you can loosen the bolts on the window clamp. Next look for two bolts that should be somewhere toward the middle of the door, one above the other a few inches apart. The holes which these bolts go through are slotted. Loosen these bolts. Slide the window out of its clamp. Grasp the runner that window clamp slides up and down on and move it upward so that the bolt heads go through the widest part of the hols. You should then be able to turn the assembly sideways and slip it out of the opening. Put your old motor on the new regulator and reassemble. Don't tighten up the window clamp initially, run it up and down so as to align the window in the frame then clamp it. Try the window again for smooth operation, if it doesn't run up and down smoothly then reposition the window in its clamp until the window does run smoothly. Hope this helps.
