Drivers side window won't go up??

I drove to work this morning with all my windows down as usual and when I parked it and put the windows up it made a loud noise, some banging, and slowly fell down. All the other windows work except the front drivers side. Anyone ever had this happen? Any ideas what it could be? I don't have a mitsu dealer near me so I don't know what to do.


Thanks for the help!

sounds like the motor gave out or the window just fell off the rail. take off your inner panel and see if the rails are moving up and down when you try to do the window.

i had a rustang before and the window wouldn't roll up after i rolled it down took the panel off and it was on the rails. i took it to sts and they replaced the motor for a one hundred and some change and it worked perfect.

Sorry to intrude but since whe are on driver side. I can't unlock my car by just pressing the clicker unlock button. But if I just unlock my driver side door with the key thennnnnn I press the clicker all the doors unlock. Any idea what it could be so I can get in there and replace it. It's really pissing me off
