I do not have one to sell but I think this is a common problem. Having recently replaced mine, I can say that even after the replacemnt was installed, I still had trouble. I ended up lubricating the track, (esp. the front) up by the side view mirror, where it seems to bind.
When it gets stiff, forcing it by the window crank will break the plastic piece on the regulator and it is a pain to replace (if you can find a good used regulator).
Hope that helps, good luck

Both of my windows are bitches to get up I'm suprised I haven't broken anything yet.. I guess I'll have to lube it up.. What exactly do you lube?

Lube, the track the window slides in. I have a syringe with tranny fluid I use for alomst everything. Keeps from making a mess & I can usu. get the needle down where I want it.
If it's like mine, you can feel it binding on the way up. Down is OK. The track....wind the window down, lube the front track up by the side view mirror. Work it in a few times, prying window up the old way. Should notice it getting easier.
I think the design it poor & the window off balance but that is another story. Lube the track, try it let me know....Lube the track the window slides in ;-)
