Sudden failure of drivers side power window.



I have recently purchased an '88 80Q which is in excellent condition for

a vehicle with 132,000 miles.  I have all service records from the
previous owner of this vehicle and have not found any indication that
there were any previous problems with the power windows.  The power
mechanism for the drivers window worked flawlessly for the first couple
of weeks I owned this vehicle, but this morning it completely failed.  I

was driving up to a drive-thru window, hit the button to lower the
window, it went down about half-way then raised up about an inch.  I was

a little surprised, but I hit the button again.  It went down where
about 1 inch of the window was showing.  It then refused to move up, or
down with the power switch.  I was able to raise the window by pushing
up on the glass.  If anyone has any clues as to what may be wrong I
would appreciate any advice.
