Default Power window problem

Well I was driving this morning and had my windows down... I rolled them up but when I rolled the passenger window(electric by the way) all the way up I heard a "clunk"... so being curious why my window did that I rolled it back halfway... it was able to keep going down, but wouldn't go up. So I had to pull the window up.. it came up easy and sits in place fine. When I hit the window button it sounds like it is working fine and you hear something trying to catch.. like a very light clunking sound from the door.

Before this happened my windows were working perfectly fine without any slow problems. Both driver and passenger windows rolled up at the same speed.

Could it have possibly came off the track or somethihng of that nature?? Or is it more than likely the power motor that just went out??

Thanks.. I know this is simple, but I would like some opinions before taking off the panels in my dorm parking lot.

I had problems like that with my 01 vert. The loud clunk I heard was actually the window regulator breaking. I could then pull my window up or push down by hand.

Best thing to do is take the panel off and have a look and see if something fell off. Listen for the humming sound of the motor when you press the button.

my window wouldn't roll up, so i pulled the panel, and after a bit of looking around, put a screwdriver on the motor and gave it a good whack, and it has worked fine since.

Probably what happened was the motor from the window just got disconnected with the glass.. The best thing to do is to take the panel off and connect it back if that is the problem
