Thanks again!
On mine, I suspected that I would have to replace the regulator when I bought it 1 year ago, as it made a grinding sound when the window was moving, but it worked so I lived with it. 2 months ago, the window would only go down a couple of inches and then stop, sounding like it was not getting power to the motor, but it would raise back up, either by engaging the convertable top latch or the swith, so I knew that the motor was fine. Once I got it out, the braided cable on the regulator had broken several of the braids and gotten wound around the pulley.

From what I've been reading on your issue (sorry, I didn't have any time to respond until today), I think that it is your regulator that is bad and replacing it should fix your issue. It is NOT a hard job, just take you time and be sure of what you are going to do before you do it.
