Driver Window Doesn't Go All the way down

As of this morning my driver window does not go down all the way. It looks like its working fine until it gets about an inch from the bottom. Then the rear half of the window stops and the front half moves down a bit rotating the window until it wedges itself to a stop. Is this something I can fix and if so how? Thanks!

Mine does this too every once in a while, but I haven't figured out why yet. It usually rights itself in a day or two.

Take apart your door and check for obstacles.. Most likely a piece of styrofoam inside your door came loose and is blocking the window's path (this happened to me after I got a dent popped in my door)

this definintely makes it sound like there's something stuck down there.

don't force it to go down or you might break the track or rip the glue off the window. Open it up and see what's up with it.

I finally got a chance to open it up this afternoon and sure enough the piece of styrofoam that was glued on the door panel fell off and was wedged down there. It was a very easy fix and now everything works great. Thanks for the help everyone.
