So, I took the door back apart as soon as I got home, and after looking for a few minutes, found that the window was getting stuck in a notch at the bottom of the window regulator track. I checked around inside the door, but found no loose pieces floating around. Is there supposed to be some sort of stopper there?

Not sure this is your problem... but.... On my 90 there is a small rubber bumper / pad at the bottom of the door cavity. the bumper is maybe 1/2 inch in diameter and maybe 1/4 inch in height with a small 'tit' on the back that holds it in place... the small tit on mine broke... you will likely find it in the 'foot well' portion of the door cavity... everything seems to roll down there below the electric door motor (I have electric windows)...

caution... if you have electric windows don't strain them because a typical problem is for the plastic cable guide elbow at the bottom of the window track to break... a real pita to fix...

if you can't find the original bumper with a tit to hold it into place perhaps you could just glue one in there...

Good Luck,

Bill

It's like the window is simply going a couple of millimeters too far down the track, and getting stuck. I was able to push out on the window and unstick it, but that's not much of a solution. If someone with an ETKA CD could take a look at the driver's door, and see if there is supposed to be a stopper at the base of the window regulator, I would appreciate it, as I hadn't the time or patience ( I was freezing!) last night to take the passenger door back apart to check for myself. Also, if you can tell what form that stopper takes, it would be most appreciated. Of course any other advice in this matter would be helpful too. BTW, it's an 84 7-passenger with non-powered windows. Thanks in advance.
