I recently replaced the window regulator on the drivers' side, as the cable
guides had worn out and given way. You may be able to do as Hector said and
remove the motor and turn it by hand to get it to the up position. The PO of
my van had used a tek screw drilled into the regulator slide to keep the
window in the up position until some hapless soul like myself happened
along...at which point I discovered that a new regulator was ~$165.00 at the
dealer. Gotta replace as a unit. Ouch. Works great now though! Of course now
the passenger side PW seems slow in comparison.

Regards, Mike
