Default Window Keeps Getting Stuck

My passenger window keeps getting stuck, when I punch the door 3-4 times it lowers and works until I turn off the car or lower it all the way down. I dont think its the motor thats faulty, anyone have the same problem?

yes. Resetting the motor worked when that happened to my passenger side. My driver's side required a new motor. Just take the door panel off and roll the window down whiling holding down the button in the middle of the door.

The motor is going bad. These are the first symptoms.

Default I have the window issue on my passenger side also...

All of the sudden the passenger window drops down about 1/4 of the way after I pull it up. I have to hold the power window button up for a few seconds once it hits the top in order to keep it from dropping again.

350FLY:
Get them at any auto parts store. The big chain stores sell the same one and the motors come with a lifetime warranty.

Wow I just realized that punching my door might have made it worse, it clicks now and will not move up or down, how hard is it to replace the window motor?? How long does it take to do? Is it sticking to something or is the motor it self going out??

my driver side window does this. If you will just push down a little bit, while they are stuck, then use the switch it always works for me.
