Default Right Front Window Only Goes Up Half Way

Hey folks!

Recently, the passenger side window started to not roll up all the way. It happened randomly when I rolled down the window. I have tried resetting the lower and upper positions via the window switch. Besides that, I have ensured the bolts securing the window motor were tight (one was loose). Unfortunately, the window still is not going up all the way, which is less than ideal during the winter months in northern Wisconsin! I've attached pictures and videos of the door. I am unsure of what do do next. Do I need to replace the window motor? Or do you all think this is more of an adjustment issue.

Below are two videos I uploaded demonstrating the issue:


Thanks!

Either the motor is really weak, or the window is binding somewhere. You could try some silicone lube on the window tracks to see if it helps. But my money is on a weak motor being the main culprit. The upward resistance builds until the motor stops, the system thinks the window has reached the limit of its travel, and the whole thing stops.

Welcome to the forums GREPHE,

The door glass doesn't appear to be correctly aligned. I'd expect the gaps at the two points I've lined in RED on the rear edge to be the same. The glass must be binding in the channels and the anti-trap feature kicks in stopping further movement.
